: If you want my opinion on the content matter, I've expressed it already in the 1st ANI where I participated. In a nutshell: I understand the arguments for having certain rules for hypens, dashes, etc. (Especially after having re-written part of the en dash section for comprehensibility, LOL). On the other hand one cannot be blind to the fact that in several fields (medicine, but also engineering) the MOS-type rules (and I'm not referring just to Wikipedia's MOS) on that particular seem to be mostly ignored if not applied in reverse. I even tried finding descriptive accounts of how often those rules are followed, but I'm not having much luck with that insofar.
