I don't think the user needs to have to try and figure out the process documents
go through before appearing in an index: I think that misses the point.

What did you have in mind for UserDocumentationRaw? Documents which are still in
cleanup process? The whole point of not linking them on UserDocumentation is
because they are not ready for an index: having various indexes to allow
documents which aren't regarded as ready for the main index strikes me as (a)
difficult to maintain, and (b) defeating the object of trying to have guidelines
for documents in the first place.

At the moment, I have to say that the idea doesn't grab me at all: if we are
going to review the process that wiki documents go through before appearing in
the index, that is a positive idea, but we need to discuss what we want to get
out of the wiki and its document organisation and work out a proper solution, I
think.
