Line 50:

Use an en dash, not a hyphen, between numbers: {{xt|pp. 14–21}}; {{xt|1953–2008}}. An en dash is also to connect parallel terms: {{xt|red–green colorblind}}; {{xt|a New York–London flight}}. Use spaces around the en dash only if the connected terms are multi-unit dates: {{xt|January 1999{{spaced ndash}}December 2000}}. {{Manual of Style/More|ENDASH}}
