:: 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.

== 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.

: 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.
