Looking at the talk page reaction to long-winded messages, I can see it will be difficult to get anything changed, but I do think that there should be something saying that old page revisions (depending on whether templates or images are used) may not be showing what you would expect them to show (i.e. the page as it appeared at the time it was edited). How about: "This is an old revision of this page, as edited by $2 at $1. It may differ significantly from the current revision. Furthermore, if transcluded content was present at the time of editing, the old revision shown below is unlikely to be an accurate representation of the page as it appeared at the time of editing." Longer explanation: "If this old revision included templates, images, or any transcluded content at the time of editing, the dynamically generated page below will show a mixture of the old revision and the current version of the transcluded content. If the transcluded content has changed, then the old revision will not be showing the page as it appeared at the time of editing."
