Wikipedia started using an extension for marking pages as "validated".
See [1]. This would allow us to setup a group of "trusted
people" (developers, long-time users, well-known contributors - for
example) who would be able to review pages and tag them that way.
Non-reviewed pages could show a header then clearly stating that this
specific page hasn't been reviewed and might contain inaccurate
information.
