dash type

[edit]

When I did the new space-dash-space change I copied the dash as it is in the Protected Areas Act....in my discussions with the Leg Counsel yesterday (or Thursday? it's blur now) I know we looked up these particular items, and others ("these" being also Smith River Falls-Fort Halkett Provincial Park, which is another space-dash-space one - but many are hyphens) and I can't remember now exactly what she said in some cases; maybe emdash is official for these, I'll consult with her again (I have her email now rather than phone, though phoning is free anywhere from in BC). I thought she'd said endash, but noted the longer dash in the actual pages, so I'll double check. Pretty sure that User:abcbookworm who weighed in at the end of the RM is her. One thing about finding the Act is that we now have a full list of all conservancies, protected areas, ecological reserves and parks, which wikipedia doesn't currently have. Many have special characters in them - many have forward-slashes, some with spaces, most without.Skookum1 (talk) 17:42, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good to check. I assumed that was a typo, based on what you'd said. (And it is a bit odd typographically to use an em dash within a name, or anywhere with spaces.) — kwami (talk) 01:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
