I didn't see the notes in the asterisks unless I moved the cursor *right over* the asterisk. I don't think many people will realize to mouseover. Why can't we use footnotes?

Hi, this is something that made me somewhat lose faith in my eye vision (which is horribly bad anyway):
in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics, two entries, viz. "Pages" (second line) and "Active users (registered users with at least one edit or logged action in the past 30 days)" (8th line) have a small asterisk (*) next to them. I take it that the asterisk denotes a reference to a footnote...but I'm unable to find anything at the bottom of the page, not even a sentence like "Entries marked with an asterisk mean..."
What on earth am I missing? Where is explained what these stars/asterisks are for?
Thanks, Michael
