Where is this device mentioned? I've never heard of it until now. --Phoenix (t) 16:05, 11 Nov 2005 (CET)

The SC2 manual on pg 14. The actual line of text is:
  • The Tobermoon limped through space for almost a week before Hyper-Radar reconnaissance located a hospitable planet orbiting the dwarf star Vela.
Not much, but it is there. I wonder if it'd be a good idea to include the text, or a at least create some kind of reference system (footnotes, endnotes, something else...) to more easily explain where certain things, especially hard to find references come from. --Fyzixfighter 17:11, 11 Nov 2005 (CET)
Hmmm... perhaps it should be included as meta-information. Thanks. --Phoenix (t) 18:53, 11 Nov 2005 (CET)

Okay, the category is doing something strange on this and a few other articles where you changed the capitalization after initially adding the category. It keeps on showing up as a uncreated category (an ugly red link). Anyone know why? Also, I don't know if we need to go all out and make a long meta-explanation of where the term comes from. I'd rather use something more like footnotes with a section for notes and/or references at the end of articles. Unless it is vitally important, the actual text could probably just be kept here on the talk page if someone questions it. I think this would especially help with disputed articles. It certainly would have helped diffuse some argument and accusation on the sa-matra, quasispace, and hyperspace articles. I'll see what I can find in the Wiki how-to guides. --Fyzixfighter 22:18, 11 Nov 2005 (CET)

It also did something weird with the VUX category, but I think it's MediaWiki more than anything else. You're right about the meta text, but I had no idea about the Hyper-Radar when I first saw it. I'll remove the text and maybe think of another way of explaining it. --Phoenix (t) 00:22, 12 Nov 2005 (CET)
