The en dash
[edit]@J3133 Using the en dash for this entry makes no sense, because it's not a correct use of the en dash. Uses with a standard hyphen are far, far more common, and there is absolutely no point making a distinction between them as separate entries. Without a seriously good reason otherwise, I will be moving this back in a few hours. Theknightwho (talk) 05:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Theknightwho: It is a correct use: see sense 4. Also, I am in the process of making the entry with the hyphen. J3133 (talk) 05:51, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- @J3133 There has consistently been consensus to delete trivially-derived hyphenated forms, so taking that to an even greater extreme by distinguishing between types of hyphen is not a good idea. As I said, I will be moving this back in a few hours unless there is a genuinely compelling reason otherwise. Theknightwho (talk) 05:53, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Theknightwho: As I mentioned (WT:STYLE), there is no consensus for moving this back. J3133 (talk) 05:54, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- @J3133 Do you really want to waste everyone's time with a Beer Parlour discussion over something you know most people are going to find stupid? Theknightwho (talk) 05:55, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
