You're quite correct. There was one minor press kerfuffle a few weeks ago where some wag had sent several UK newspapers a link to a history version of [[Cheryl Cole]] saying her husband was gay. It took a moment on the first call to work out that was actually a history link and they were the victims of a prankster.
I wonder sometimes if we ought to mark non-live and non-article pages somehow visually, to flag up that they're not quite right. I'm not sure how - a red bar at the top under the pagename?
