Well, there are always some people that look closer at the changes made
to the wiki. So just adding "personal preferences" will probably be
noticed and reverted ;-)

Now more official: There are pages that are 'more "official" than
others'. If you want to make changes to it but are not sure if they are
proper prepare a diff offline and send it by mail to one of the people
that changed the page often in the past. Ask him if these changes are
okay. Maybe that person will apply them directly to the wiki, maybe
he'll say "the changes are okay, go ahead and apply it yourself"

That okay for everybody?
