21 A simple warning should suffice:
22
23 "While the Gentoo community takes a large amount of care to keep the
24 wiki's information correct, problems like deprecation of features,
25 misinformed users and vandalism can and will always be a problem with
26 the wiki format. If you see a problem please feel free to fix it, notify
27 a member of the developer team or send an email to wiki@g.o"
28
29 Also adding a notice like "Gentoo takes no responsibility for when you
30 b0rk your box by setting the wrong CTARGET" somewhere would be good.
31
32 Those two should cover all the bases.
