Creating consensus regarding page types in wiki

[Ben Edwards]

I think Enrico, as usual, has come up with a great solution.  I
actually feel I have given at least one reason why I think there
should be a difference - just because sparks does not agree with them
douse not mean they are not reasons.  Reasons can be good/bad or
simply wrong reasons but they are still reasons.  I may not agree with
sparks reasons but I would never say he has not come up with any.

Lets have 'humility to others' and respect one another views ;)

I think a strap line like - 

This page is part of the ubuntu wiki, its accuracy has not necessarily
been checked by the documentation team.

with 'ubuntu wiki' linking to a page explaining what this means and
what the implications are would do the trick.

I would like a different colour background as this type of thing is
often used in websites to denote different sections and this would not
surprise the visitor.  IMHO.

At the end of the day I will take the advise of our gardener - hoping
he is smiler to the Peter Sellers character in 'Being There' ;)
