Changing section=1 into section=0 should still work fine - I've just
tested it. The token values seem to be the same for every section, so
it's unlikely even to confuse the data!
However, this is a bit of a hack in the first place - there's an
option in preferences to provide an edit link actually on the page for
section 0. Preferences > Gadgets, and the first entry under
"Appearance".
