I'm not sure we actually disagree here. But I think that if a sequence's
definition mentions digits when it could be described in terms of a simple
congruence, then the definition should be changed so the "base" keyword
isn't needed.
I see that you removed "base" from A061237-A061242 (primes congruent to
k (mod 9) for 6 values of k). It should probably also be removed from:
A023105, Number of distinct quadratic residues mod 2^n.
A039301, Number of distinct quadratic residues mod 4^n.
A039302, Number of distinct quadratic residues mod 5^n.
A039303, Number of distinct quadratic residues mod 6^n.
A039304, Number of distinct quadratic residues mod 7^n.
A039305, Number of distinct quadratic residues mod 8^n.
A039306, Number of distinct quadratic residues mod 9^n.
A000993, Number of distinct quadratic residues mod 10^n = number of
distinct n-digit endings of base 10 squares.
Maybe also:
A008975 Pascal's triangle mod 10
A074822 Primes p(n) such that p(n) + 4 = p(n+1) and p(n) == 9 (Mod 10)
A087355 n^10 mod 10^n
