+
+<!-- Good things to put here include: reasoning for the change (please link
+     any relevant issues!), any noteworthy (or hacky) choices to be aware of,
+     or what the problem resolved here looked like ... we won't mind a ranty
+     story :) -->
+
+### Checklist - did you ...
+
+<!-- If any of the following items aren't relevant for your contribution
+     please still tick them so we know you've gone through the checklist.
+
+    All user-facing changes should get an entry. Otherwise, signal to us
+    this should get the magical label to silence the CHANGELOG entry check.

+    are necessary for formatting and most enhancement changes. -->
