Thanks for the feedback. I've created a new wiki page which sets out
examples and guidelines for all of the banners so far [1]. Please feel
free to make changes or add comments to that page.

Having a link back to an explanatory page is a great idea.

By the way, "banners" is a crappy name but I couldn't think of anything
better at the time. How about "Tags" or something similar?

Thanks,

Phil
