Moves pages containing '(space)-(space)' (and their talk pages) to an article with the '(space)-(space)' replaced with '(space)ndash(space)'.

===Discussion===

I'd like to hear about if you think there are going to be any false positives, and how you'll catch them? [[User talk:Rjwilmsi|<fontspan colorstyle="color:darkgreen;">'''''Rjwilmsi'''''</fontspan>]] 22:24, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

:Well according to the MOS and the BOTRequest, it is appropriate to change ''all'' instances of '(space)-(space)' with '(space)ndash(space)'. Other then that there aren't really any openings for a false positive, as the bot won't even consider moving a page that dosen't contain '(space)-(space)'. If that wasn't the answer you were asking for, you may have to clarify a bit. Thanks for the question [[User:Tim1357|Tim1357]] ([[User talk:Tim1357|talk]]) 23:27, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
