the following information about dealling with Kerrigan is proven to be misleading:
"...Thors - Thors have the 250 mm Cannon ability. The 250 mm Cannon stuns Kerrigan -- while stunned she cannot use her nasty special abilities but can still move and attack, making her an easier target..."

I've just completed the last mission it on hard difficulty. Opposite to what the article says, Thor's really cannons had no stunning effect on Kerrigan, she used her special abilities as usual while being bombarded with my Thors. (I have to mention: I did not have Thor's Cannons upgrade.)

She was able both: continue the strike and start the new one while being bombarded.

So, if Thor's Cannons esquire Stunning Ability only after the upgrade, then this has to be mentioned in the article. If Thor's Cannons don't esquire Stunning Ability even after the upgrade, then the citation is just wrong statement, and has to be removed from the article.

Yeah, well, the bombardment do help to kill Kerrigan, but the player needs to be careful not to loose Thor to the strike of her special abilities.

The author of the article should not post his bare fantasies without checking whether Heroic Units are immune to Stunning.

There are errors on the pages for abilities on "Charge" such as the autocasting ability that was changed and also the 250mm Strike Cannons, such as the cost. Other errors as well.

Searching Liquipedia is extremely annoying. If you don't spell something exactly right, it won't find what you're looking for. Example: stimpack. I thought it was "stim pack" so when I searched, it only found a few pages that had stimpack misspelled.

Could you possibly improve the search function to help people find what they're looking for if they misspell a word or not phrasing what they're looking for correctly?

Or is there a way to add search keywords or redirects to the intended page?

I know this is obscure, but I found it surprising that the article for SCV doesn't explain the acronym. I had to use *gasp* google to find this out; 'Space Construction Vehicle'.

I've noticed while editing the past week that there seems to be somewhat of a lack of consistent standards throughout some of the pages, as well that there seems to be a lot of the same information divided across 1-2+ pages. i.e

- qxc's interview layout as compared to Idra's or Huk's. I have no problems going and "standardizing" them though it would be nice to figure out what should be the standard in terms of format, or if I could be known of said format.

- Natural and Natural Expansion.

- Infested Terrans has #use information which is pretty much just replicated/applies the same as on Infested Terran.

I'm fairly new to actively editing a wiki, so if the second two "issues" are standard practice then they can be ignored but I thought I would just bring it up before I start doing anything hasty.

I have a suggestion for Liquipedia to be carried out by the community; the goal would be to clear up confusion with SC2 lingo, terminology, and semantics. The suggestion is to further develop the Liquipedia Definitions page into a Starcraft 2 "Urban Dictionary" of sorts and either encourage its integration (linking like I'm doing here) into threads or build it into the thread interface. Some ideal consequences would be more regular usage of Liquipedia and less misunderstanding and useless posts.

Assuming TL isn't plagued by trolls and people with BM who would abuse, the community could enjoy rapid population of this Definitions v2 page with terminology or acronyms like "theorycraft[ing]," "op" "to zerg" etc. "Zerg" already enjoys its own Urban Dictionary page.

This is a fresh idea so thoughts/refinement are welcome!
