Hi Craigd, welcome to RC and thanks for your support with those great zkl language entries!

Section/language name in change summary (or Edit by Section)
I don't wish to be too pedantic or to discourage your continued fine wiki edits… however:
If you're not already editing by section (using the per section "[edit]" links, enabled by default from your preferences page) could I ask that you do so? If you are already doing this, could I ask that you leave the "/* {{header|zkl}} */ " text at the start of the change summary alone (adding more descriptive text after it).
In addition to pre-filling the change summary, editing by section has other benefits. For one, the preview and change windows are limited just to the relevant section making it easier to work with. But more importantly, the wiki back-end can better handle multiple people making simultaneous changes to different sections if they each do section edits rather than whole page edits.
If for some reason, editing by section doesn't work for you or is otherwise undesirable for you, could I instead ask that you prefix your change summaries with the section name you're editing? Just something like "zkl:" would be sufficient. It can be difficult/confusing to look through the recent changes or per-page history and identify at a glance what is being changed without such things.
