Front-matter no-loc is consistently expressed as a flow-style YAML array in this repo (for example reference/7.6/Microsoft.PowerShell.Core/About/about_Alias_Provider.md:5 uses no-loc: [Alias, ...]). To match the established convention (and minimize diffs across versions), consider changing this block to a single-line no-loc: [Windows PowerShell 5.1 Workflow, PowerShell Gallery, Author, Copyright, Description].
