Distributed under the terms of the MIT license.
Function overview: Move pages that have ' - ' in their name to ones that have 'ndash'
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Bot Request

and

MOS Page that says:

A hyphen is never followed or preceded by a space

Edit period(s): Monthly? The concensus was unclear. Personally I think its a once-a-month job.
Estimated number of pages affected: I have no idea, a Lot from the looks of the size of what X!'s dump scan returned (the list is 807 kb long). Update, I did a dump scan, and it returned a list around 21 thousand. However, that includes re-directs and DASHBot skips redirects.

Exclusion compliant (?): I don't know if pywikipedia is exclusion compliant. I will just parse out the links that transclude Template:TLP

Already has a bot flag (Y/N):

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