Perhaps not for all pages - for example, the "Tear" page doesn't appear
to menace any data or ask you to do anything risky, nor does
"Customizing Maemo" for the most part, but there's definitely a need to
warn people sometimes.

I extracted the header of the "Free up rootfs space" page (which could
do with a name-change, perhaps?) and put it in "Template:Danger" - to be
included in all pages that ask the user to do anything which, if they
don't do it right, could endanger the correct functioning or personal
data of the user's device.

Cheers,
Dave.
