Change hyphen to a colon
Could we please change the hyphen (which is there in lieu of a real dash) to a colon? – Kaihsu (talk) 13:35, 12 July 2010 (UTC)


 * No, because it might not display correctly depending on the font selected for the window manager. — Dispenser 14:58, 12 July 2010 (UTC)


 * An en-dash (–) might not display correctly, but a colon should be all right, no? – Kaihsu (talk) 19:19, 12 July 2010 (UTC)


 * You're right, I misread it. Although a colon would mismatch with MediaWiki:Tagline.  — Dispenser 17:33, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
