You would have to go a bit into the js side of things to do that.
I'm not sure that's a good idea though. In my experience (on a wiki
that used flagged revs), if the newbies see one thing, and regular
users see another, what ends up happening is no one notices when the
newbie oriented page is broken as the newbies don't know how to report
issues (or even recognize something is an issue), which is bad because
its the newbies where it is most important to make a good first
impression.
