I think this function is definitely one where categories could be
useful. For example a page I plug away at every now and then
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire should be 'tagged'/
categorised as 'incomplete' or 'unreviewed' or whatever. Some tag that
all pages start with by default might be a good idea.

I think also that any system of subject categories (as opposed to
reliability) should be reflected in the website structure. So the page I
mentioned above should be at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video/Firewire

this also makes more sense to search engines.
