Proposing new tags

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Obviously we want to avoid creating new tags if there is an existing one that is "good enough" already but sometimes it is unavoidable.  

I think it might be best to keep the tag as generic as possible so i think that instead of stating that the content is definitely out-of-date it might be better to say the content "may" be out-of-date.  Then it's easier to use it without having to look to closely and leave it to page editors and users to decide if the tag is really justified or not, or just fix any trivial issues that may have prompted the use of the tag on a largely fine page.  It also means people can just dump the tag on pages without it being such a big deal and users wont panic so much when they see it.  

So, perhaps "This page may need updating" in a nice amber, yellow, orange or tan?  Enough to make people a little wary and make editors jump up and edit out of sheer pride in their page?  

Regards from
Tom :)

I think the you should read to "rules" fairly loose as it states content clean up and specifies a few examples when content cleanup is required.

But, there is no tag[2] that I can apply to that page stating that it needs 'factually' updating. I have posted a comment on the ubuntu forum area [3] asklng that one of the team from there has a check and update it.
