This looks like an undiscussed mass edit.

I can see why you say that, but I felt that this was acceptable. Firstly, it's only changing the tags, not keys.
Secondly, I feel that it is important to have phone numbers callable internationally, particularly with the increasing use of OSM data in smartphone apps. When travelling, I expect to be able to tap on a phone number and for it to work, without me having to enter the country code at that time. This is a straightforward change to make, simply replacing the leading zero with "+44 ", and if there was any uncertainty over a phone number then I didn't change anything but left a note.
Also, I didn't realise there was a problem with mass edits necessarily. I am aware of the automated edits code of conduct, but felt that this didn't come under that banner as the changes are made manually and individually. -

For clarity re "When travelling, I expect to be able to tap on a phone number and for it to work, without me having to enter the country code at that time", you can. If you're roaming on another country's network you can just dial local numbers with no country code, just as if you were dialling from a local landline.

Your premise explaining why the international code is wrong. You can dial any number in the UK using only the area code (known as the STD code in the UK) and the local number. If you visit the UK with a roaming phone you still do not need the international code (+44). You only need that if you are calling from outside the UK.
Any edit of tags, whether keys or values, can be covered by the automated edit guidelines. Automated edits are also known as mechanical edits. I ask you to revert this edit as an undiscussed mechanical edit. I don't believe it is needed, but if you want to make this edit you must discuss it with GB mappers and get their general agreement. I will resist this edit. Please do not make any more of these edits until they are discussed.
