I was recently doing page clean-up with AWB, and AWB suggested changing "Academy Award–winning" (with an en dash) to "Academy Award-winning" (with a hyphen) on the article " Society of the Snow" (see this edit [1]). User Nardog noticed my edit and reverted it [2] citing MOS:SUFFIXDASH. I started a discussion about this (see: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Clarification on the use of a hyphen or an en dash for "Academy Award winning"), and it appears all users who commented are in agreement that en dashes should be used in these situations and not hyphens. Thanks! Wikipedialuva ( talk) 09:45, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
Greetings! I'm recycling AWB regexes in a script that can efficiently scan database dumps on Linux. The use of backspaces in word="you'(d\ve\re\ll)_"
creates some weird escaping issues. Any objection to rename it "you'(d/ve/re/ll)_"? That seems more like standard slash usage to me anyway. Thanks,

1-1, 2-2, etc. scores are being overlooked for ndash replacement and with all the sports articles I work on, this is getting a little too frustrating. Tom.Reding - I found out you had made a change to make this a false positive in March 2020. Is there any way this can be made to bypass fewer of these (i.e. look for additional text to match)? A *lot* of tie scores aren't getting a correction (unless I catch it and perform the correction manually). Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 23:02, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
(?<!\b\1[-—]\1\b)
, was moved
the next day into rule "2–1", precisely so that "0–0" can find draws and ties. If "0–0" isn't finding ties now, it's not because of that lookbehind; it's because "0–0" needs to be expanded with more relevant keywords. ~

is still in "2–1", and stopping corrections of draws/ties that don't meet "0–0". "0–0" currently doesn't cover a lot of scenarios I'm seeing in my typo correction work, but I don't know why the draws/ties need to be avoided in "2–1" 's general case in the first place. Is there any harm from removing that code? That's what I'm driving at.

Vice-President gets corrected to Vice-president, should be Vice President or vice president (I think) DarmaniLink ( talk) 18:13, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
"ua" was flagged as a typo of "uk" (sorry about the previous mistakes, im sleep deprived). I'm not sure if this was the typos or something else that flagged this though. I'm not seeing a regex that would have done that, just saw the attempted diff. DarmaniLink ( talk) 02:10, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
CoolieCoolster As this is a complicated tool rather than an article, any major restructuring needs to be discussed. Please use this topic to explain what you think ought to be done here. Also, if changes are to be done, they need to be done more piecemeal, so editors can readily see what is moving where. A lot of difficult work has gone into building the list over time, and we need to be extra careful. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 04:35, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
