For the sake of caution, I'm gonna assume it's Flame Bait.

I think it's some sort of glitch since it's not indexed on Flame Bait.

This was already brought up in the discussion page (in December 2014, no less), and was confirmed to be a glitch (although the wording does seem a bit ambiguous vis a vis which of the two was correct). I don't know. Maybe post in the tech wishlist again?

I think Narm was moved to Darth Wiki for a short while a few years ago, That could be what's causing the Flame Bait banner to appear on the subpages.

There's a list of namespaces that auto-populate CSS and banners, and I think that Narm is on that list. Fixing it requires admin work. We're sure that it's not supposed to be there?

(Thinks) Maybe there should be a Hive Mind discussion? Then it can be linked/referred to when the subject comes up again later.

It used to be listed on Flame Bait, but it was removed a few years ago.

Not Flame Bait. The banners appear to be a holdover from times past but don't appear to auto-trigger; probably best if you ask for a manual de-flagging.
