You add a custom field to each page, for example <em>viewheader</em> with value equal to YES if you want to display it in the header. Then you check for the custom field and generate the filter for wp_list_pages. Sorry, meant custom fields rather than custom tags.

You may be able to get the effect you are looking for by creating a sidebar that is displayed horizontally under the header. The other option to explore is using the hierarchy of pages to limit which pages are displayed in which location. The ideal would be to have the capacity to show certain pages in the header and certain pages in the sidebar, that can be done by setting the filters manually on wp_list_pages but that is not really for non-technical users as you say. Another option is to use custom tags on pages and then filter them out on wp_list_pages.

Would prefer they not edit the code.

Do you have any exclude (or conversely include) arguments in wp_list_pages, so for example to exclude certain pages the code would look something like:

<ul><?php wp_list_pages('exclude=17,38'); ?></ul>

If that is the case did you copy those arguments to the header?
Or do you have a plugin that excludes pages? Let me know what you have done and I can probably help you fix things.
