I'm not sure about clarifying the article. I just did not see it when I was searching for instructions, so I ended up coming up with my own. I'm attaching what I wrote. It has no examples or images in it, and needs to be cleaned up some.
One thing that is different the way I did it was that I used the hardware port as a trunk, then attached the vlan ports to it. So, in my case, red0 is not the underlying port. I change the name in udev to something else, then build the red0 and orange0 on top of it.
Like I said, I did not see the vlan article when I was doing my research. It is based mainly on http://forum.ipfire.org/index.php?topic=7242.0 and some conversations with one of our network people here, and some experimentation.

What has been different for you and what would you suggest to clarify this howto?

I needed to share orange and red on a router. Read through the stuff and figured it out, though it is slightly different from the way it is described in the Wiki.
Do you think it would be good to have a separate article "VLAN on Red interface" article? If not, I'll put it on my own wiki instead.
