Ah, you're stuck in university website hell too? Eww.
The weboffice here has had that question pop up time and time again. They ended up making some referrer stuff plug into the CMS+weblogging they're using so website admins could check whats referencing each of their pages. It gets quite complicated too; some websites are "pulling" parts of their content from other websites on campus; so how do you know what you're actually updating when you update a page?
The weboffice answer: give the users all the tools they need; if they decide to do something stupid then there's a logfile with who did the stupid thing and when. Its then not their problem (and subsequent whinging can't be done to them. Although it still happens.)
