I believe you did not quote the text you believe or wanted to quote.

I'm not saying we should flag every wiki page. Just place a note on
the wiki home page. Add notes to pages for information pertaining to
older versions of Myth and let the information not noted be assumed
current, or un-updated. Flagging pages for current methodologies does
nothing to help maintenance.
