Maintenance Idea - Wiki

[Alex Gretlein]

I think using categories or a table like the example from the Italian
wiki is an excellent idea. Tha will require a conscious effort on the
part of contributors, though. (A number of entries are already broken
down - often chaotically - by release.)

It would be nice to supplement this with something automated, whereby
entries which have not received a major edit in the last two release
cycles get a banner inserted, warning: "This information has not
received a major edit since {date/release}. The following information
may be out of date. If you can provide up to date information, or try
the following and find it still usable, please update the page and
remove this banner." Or something to that effect.
