[Wikipedia-l] Disclaimer notices and category systems

[Neil Harris]

Just a thought:

At the moment, some articles have disclaimer notices added (in addition 
to the general disclaimer covering the whole encyclopedia, of course). 
The new MediaWiki namespace has recently improved things by allowing the 
text of article disclaimer notices to be standardised and updates 
automated. 

The process of adding these per-article notices could be made still 
easier when the name-value pair infrastructure is added by allowing the 
addition of  _automatic_ disclaimer messages based on article category 
tags.  These texts could be sysop-editable, in just the same way as the 
MediaWiki tags (or indeed might be implemented as MediaWiki tags).
