I agree that it is better if a wiki page is written in such a way that it can be used in all versions. Unfortunately, that is not always possible. Here are some ideas I have on this: 1. Guidelines for wiki page writers: try to make it as generic as possible/avoid mentioning version number unless the contents is specifically meant for that version/other advice? 2. Tagging: Add a selection box with version numbers to all new wiki pages where the default is "All versions". The writer can choose another version number here, but only if the page is written for that version only. 3. Check wiki pages on a regular basis to see if the contents is still valid for "All versions". This is the most difficult and time consuming task which could be done by community wiki team members. Perhaps the bulk of wiki pages can be divided in smaller portions (subjects, alphabetically, categories?) so that team members can check a certain number of subjects/pages.

The more generic a page is the longer it usually lasts and maybe even be useful for wider *buntus, maybe even Mint and other off-shoots, maybe Debian and maybe even further afield. If pages have tags for specific releases then ALL pages are going to need to be checked and updated for every release, even if the only update is to add the new tag.
