I like this concept. Wasn't there something similar for skins that are 
missing new(ish) sections?

I like the "bottom (or top) of main wiki text", set apart with, maybe, a 
box. If it's debugging skins, we can't rely on them having a special 
section in which to show "this skin is missing the bit where this 
message displays."

Icing on the cake is we can set the flag through the wiki, without going 
through config.php. I expect we can find more warnings that can be set, 
and sometimes we won't be FTPing.

Thought of showing only for auth=edit, but, again, if we're testing how 
something works in auth=readonly,...

Just some preliminary thoughts for the pool.
