Well what i suppose with the above condition is ,in order to make
smaller and eye-catchy(readers will be able to see it) template , It
should be made something like the Template:Content Check (
http://en.opensuse.org/Template:Contentcheck ).With a little bit of
creativity which i suppose wont be a tiring job :).Like linking it to
the specified article/a small logo,etc And could be placed below the TOC
or at the end of an article
