The problem with these use notes is also that they are usually not localized - 
i.e. Q503 has this useful note in English, but if you're editing in Russian, 
nope. For Q6581097 (male) it is a gradual degradation - most information in 
English, a little less in Spanish, even less in Russian or Hebrew, and none (of 
the additional info) in Ukrainian.

Noticing that, I wonder: should we give up and recognize the useful use 
instructions exist pretty much only in English (I know I'm exaggerating here 
since I can examine maybe half-dozen languages out of hundreds, but the 
impression is definitely like this)?

If we need to store instructions only in one language, there are more options 
(e.g. crazy idea: we already have language qqq for i18n texts - use it here 
too?). I'm not sure if it's a viable solution, but I notice that non-English 
usability of instructions is now very low.
