Hi Hannie,

I've created the tag & asked on ubuntu-forum.

to all others on the wiki team, we did have a discussion of a new tab
stating 'this page needs updating'. It got somewhat mixed views, but over
all as it was not a classification we had was sort of accepted for where it
would be needed. I've created the tag [1] for this. I do not doubt I've not
done it correctly :)

Regards,

Phill.
