Water purification tablet. Wrong work?
Describe the bug
I noticed that with one tablet, you can purify any amount of water. For example, a 200 liter barrel.
I'm assuming that's a mistake. Since the description and recipe say one tablet per 250 ml of water.
By the way, the "pure water" recipe from the crafting menu, doesn't work.

Expected behavior
I expect the tablet to work as written will match the description.

Additional context
Not quite on topic. I would prefer if the tablet was remade similar to the washing kit.
A menu in which a container is selected and the number of tablets is calculated from its volume. After which the water is purified, without the participation of the character. Something like: throw a tablet into a container and wait a certain time.
/confirmed
One tablet will indeed purify all 800 units of water in a 200L barrel.
If you want to confirm things @KyrasRisven, you'll need to make a PR adding yourself to comment-commands.yml
As to the issue: I've done this myself in-game. I'm not sure if we have a way to drop "x" amount of tablets in water to purify it, so this might be something to be fixed on removal. /confirmed
The other side of this is that there's a crafting recipe to make clean water using a purifier. Purification tablets are listed as an option, but even if you have them, they don't show up as usable in the recipe.
I have not done a bisect, but I did pull out an old build from 2022 and activating the tablets to purify a 500mL bottle of water used 2 tablets (as I believe was the intention: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/5586/files). I'm personally betting the behaviour for both activating and crafting changed in #61737 when charges were removed from the tablet definition.
