Yes, it's one extra click. No, it's not the same as loading a completely separate page. I never thought about the footnote text below the contracts as a problem. I've seen this done in so many places, on so many different kinds of websites, for so many reasons, that it feels natural to me. Also, I like keeping secondary information away from the main information, but still nearby. But that's just me. Please tell us more about why you think the text below the contracts could be a bad thing.
 * The user's browser jumps instantly to a footnote, then instantly back to where they were. Loading a new page takes several seconds.
 * After reading the information in a footnote, most users still want to be on the same page where they startedwhich is exactly what they get. If they had to load a new page to get the information, then they must wait for the original page to load, again.
 * Users always have the option to load the separate page, if that's what they really want. It's all about giving people choices.

TrashTerrier wrote: Another idea would be to add a column to the tables for such options, so they appear between the contract # and the objective (just thought of this, probably a bad idea lol) I agree with the last five words. LOL One of the goals of our major overhaul is to eliminate "Notes" columns in tables. In most cases, if not all, the "Notes" column in a table on this wiki is a waste of space. The new column you propose is very similar to the "Notes" columns, mostly because it will take up space that the table can use in other, more meaningful ways.
 * In some tables, only one or two items use the column. (We can move the note to a footnote and use the column space in better ways.)
 * In some tables, nothing uses the column. (Why is it there?)
 * In some tables, every item uses the column. (Rename the column according to the information it's providing.)
