have different views, and the tiny benefit from having titles more compliant with some rule is not worth the almost certain side effect of upsetting some editors who are watching articles affected by the move (I can't think of an example, but there is bound to be some title where editors have argued over the hyphen/endash issue, and having a bot intrude will just offend some users).

discussion. What you might do is prepare a user-space list of 1000 titles and seek consensus to move them. After doing a couple of those with no objection, perhaps the bot could be extended to run unleashed. One reason that automating this sort of activity is not a good idea is that different editors

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
330:
If that is what the discussion comes to. I will ask some more people to come and comment. I was under the impression that there was consensus to make the MOS, and that should therefore translate to consensus for the bot.

Ok, well if all the concerns are met, then I think I'm ready to go. Note that I made a settings page that will allow users to turn the bot off if something goes wrong.

Damn, i only got 35 done. I am being throttled because DASHBot is a new user. Is it all right if I leave it as is? If not, Ill be back tomorrow to finish.

Update, I did a dump scan, and it returned a list around 21 thousand. However, that includes re-directs and DASHBot skips redirects.

Thanks for that Rich, I was going to do that, but now I'm glad I don't have to! I will run the bot from that list. Note that I

I had a look through Rich's list and your plan is probably less controversial than I had feared in my above comment.

I'd like to hear about if you think there are going to be any false positives, and how you'll catch them?
