Okay:

Note: When clicking Edit on a section header, /* Section name */ gets
prefilled in the summary field. It is not a comment syntax. The text between
/* and */ gets turned in a link to a section of the page.

So what is your point? I've edited the wiki hundreds of time and I fill in the
edit summary per the directions and it always works -- until now.

I fill in an edit summary explaining:

"... in a succinct way, what has been done and why ..."

And yes, this is frustrating. What is the magic-trick here that was not a
magic-trick before?
