I agree with this too. Maybe we can get Ian "WikiNinja" Weller or
Nigel "G-Man" Jones to get a proper and prominent notice attached to
the wiki, above or next to the Save controls.
Since it's been made immutable, I can't access the notice we used on
the Moin wiki, but I'm almost certain we had one there. Shall we just
use that text, if someone can retrieve it?
Well wouldn't ya know it, a WikiMedia website -- the MediaWiki help
pages -- are a precedent for this sort of thing. Their entire Help:
namespace is public domain so that other wikis can import it without
problem.
