You didn't mention that you want it only in some groups :)

Anyway, if you want something the authors can't modify and should not be 
bothered with, it doesn't make sense to create markup for it.

So you may wish to have different skins for each of them, since they look 
as if they go to quite different audiences. If you don't want different 
skins, the simplest thing I can think of is to copy the skin directory 
you're using in 2 or 3 different folders and change the template wherever 
it needs to be changed.

e.g.

pub
-skins
  -pmwiki
  -skinwithad (this would have just the contents of pmwiki, but with stuff 
added in the template file)

an in the /local group config add
$Skin = 'ad';

>2. What is wrong with the code in the first place?

That code is meant to do something else. As I said, you need special markup 
only for stuff you want to allow authors to add or remove at their discretion.
