: Again, pls stop replacing en dashes with em dashes where they can be used interchangeably. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 15:15, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

:: Was it on [[3L 4s]]? What I did on that page was replace hyphen-minuses with minus signs (not en dashes or em dashes). [[User:ArrowHead294|<math>\overrightarrow{\,\,\scriptsize\text{ArrowHead294}\,\,\,}</math>]] [[User talk:ArrowHead294|(speak to me)]] 16:01, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

::: There's a lot of them which are not replacing hyphen-minuses in the first place, like this edit of [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=17%2F16&type=revision&diff=182974&oldid=182969 17/16], and you were doing it even after I notified you, like these edits of [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Chords_of_orwell&curid=1434&diff=183060&oldid=160702 Chords of orwell] and [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=27edo&type=revision&diff=183064&oldid=182578 27edo]. I can only guess you were you using a script to edit the pages. You're supposed to know what you have done but scripts allows you to skip reading thru the changes, which I strongly recommend against.

:::: I wasn't using scripts to edit anything, but I just noticed now that spaced en dashes are also used in this way. Thanks for letting me know.

== Scale tree template ==

Are you aware that by replacing the manual scale tree tables in mos pages with the template, you've removed all the comments? Next time pls remember to restore them, or if you can't bother, don't replace the manual table with the template. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 15:15, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

== Random little formatting edits? ==

What is the point of including the nbsp, <nowrap>, changing the dashes, etc? -- [[User:VectorGraphics|VectorGraphics]] ([[User talk:VectorGraphics|talk]]) 01:42, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

* Non-wrapping stuff makes sure stuff that's supposed to stay together stays together. Sometimes I change dashes in order to keep the formatting consistent and make sure that appropriate punctuation is used in appropriate places.

== Regex, magic words, etc. ==

Pls only use them where necessary. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 14:19, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

: Found the problem: {{tlx|PAGENAME}} and the <code><nowiki>{{lc:</nowiki></code> directive in {{tlx|ED title}} were missing <code><nowiki>safesubst:</nowiki></code> directives, so they weren't substituting when I tried to substitute the entire template.
