And I assume that it can be a sparse matrix or array.

I suppose this is about sparse array vs sparse matrix and that you can get an error mentioning "sparse matrix" when you passed a sparse array. More context in #26418.
Maybe use something like "sparse data" or sparse_container.__class__ in the error message?

I've used 'sparse data' as I think that is enough info but happy to change.

I've added input_name, if present, to the error message as sometimes more than one argument will be checked (e.g., X and y) and this can help. Happy to change back though.
cc @glemaitre in case this needs re-review.

What does this implement/fix? Explain your changes.
_ensure_sparse_formatis used to checkXandyand other parameters but the warning says:This updates the warning to "Use '.'toarray()'" because it is possible that it was not
Xthat needs to be converted (and even so, the user has not necessarily named the dataX).
