I was thinking the same thing, but then I thought that stars convey some
measure of quality, which is not what is intended.
My main concern with the current icon is that there is no context, it is
not immediately apparent what it refers to without resorting to the
syntax page.
This definitely needs a title or prefix text, something like
"Difficulty".
How about a simple bar with three or more levels of difficulty indicated
by the length of the bar?
Do we also need the fine-grained options of marking a page as
intermediate/advanced but not for beginners? Should such pages be marked
advanced (or intermediate) difficulty and not worry about trying to
exclude (wrong word) beginners?
