The copy/paste is goofing things up. The "\" character will escape the current prompt line and allow you to continue typing a command on a new line.  When entered as a command line argument wget will treat \ as a URL:

[root@rhel6 ~]# wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-6-scap-security-guide.repo \ http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/scap-security-guide/epel-6-scap-security-guide.repo
 http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/scap-security-guide/epel-6-scap-security-guide.repo: Scheme missing.

The above is much different than:
[root@rhel6 ~]# wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-6-scap-security-guide.repo \
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/scap-security-guide/epel-6-scap-security-guide.repo

Based off your user experiences, and to help people out in the future, I've updated the wiki [1] to reflect what to do if someone receives this error in the future. In short: ensure the line break is a true line break (such as the example directly above), or put everything on a single line.
