I ran `hugo --logLevel info` and it showed the deprecations I need to change. One of them was `.Params.description` to `.Description` but `site.Params.description` throws the error `execute of template failed at <site>: can’t evaluate field Description in type *page.siteWrapper`. I guess I shouldn’t have bulk edited, but is this expected or a bug?

The deprecation is on the Page (not Site), so you need to replace `.Params.description=> .Description`. (assuming the “dot” is a Page).

I went file by file. Replaced everything deprecated.
