I actually couldn't get the asterisk to appear without adding text below it, and I didn't have anything else to add. So I just added an explanation.

Don't worry! I didn't feel like I needed to explain. But the formatting on HN is odd, and the rule on how to use asterisks is obscure and bizarre.

  s|s/_/*|  s/_/*|
And since I haven't debugged that regex even if it was legible, add two spaces to the beginning of a line to reproduce text verbatim. (Even if it's on one line.)
