0860 form history: add setup tag / warning

- Used setup-web since it relates to actual web pages, even though it doesn't break them
- Added the tag because it's an item that is likely to get attention / troubleshooting
- Added a warning tag to make the risk more apparent.
- Slight edit to the 2803 references
