Line 331:

{{u|Hl}} has moved [[Wide area network]] to [[Wide-area network]]. Seems plausible from a grammatical POV. But what about [[Internet area network]], [[Metropolitan area network]], [[Storage area network]], [[Local area network]], [[Near-me area network]], [[Personal area network]] and [[Body area network]]? ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 21:45, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

::Well (playing devil's advocate here) [[Local area network]] is much more frequent than [[Local-area network]] in sources and elsewhere in the encyclopedia. It may be a stretch but you can also think of this as an ''area network'' that is ''local'' in which case ''local area'' is not a [[compound modifier]]. ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 12:58, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
