Forgotten Realms Wiki:Minus signs

This proposal suggests that where minus signs are encountered on the wiki, both in article text and article names (and anywhere else that might be relevant), the standard hyphen character (located next to the zero on a UK keyboard) is used, rather than a unicode minus character, a &minus; entity or any other symbol that is similar, such as en and em dashes.

This is because it is easy to type the hyphen character, and while not strictly accurate, since there is a dedicated unicode hyphen character, it is felt that ease of use should triumph over strict correctness in this case.

Where you encounter a wikilink containing a year written as &minus;400 DR (for example), using a non-hyphen symbol, you should ensure that there is a redirect to -400 DR, using the standard hyphen character for the actual article title.

When you encounter an article title such as &minus;400 DR, using a non-hyphen symbol (it can sometimes be difficult to spot the difference), you should move the page to -400 DR, using the standard hyphen character.
