It only contains a single en dash character, which makes it look like it's meant to be used as a template, but there is {{tl|ndash}} for that already. This page is only [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Dash|linked to by a few template docs]], which seem like they should be linking to [[w:Dash]] on Wikipedia instead.

: Yeah, I think it's probably just a side-effect of importing templates from Wikipedia. The Template namespace here is a bit messy because I imported a bunch of structural things from Wikipedia early on, and they're not super good at making their templates stand-alone (especially when it comes to the documentation). --[[User:Alahmnat|Alahmnat]], Grand Master ([[User_talk:Alahmnat|talk]]) 17:06, 26 July 2020 (PDT)

What is this page for?[edit]

It only contains a single en dash character, which makes it look like it's meant to be used as a template, but there is {{ndash}} for that already. This page is only linked to by a few template docs, which seem like they should be linking to w:Dash on Wikipedia instead. Is this an artifact of importing those templates from Wikipedia perhaps? --dgelessus (talk · contribs) 13:57, 26 July 2020 (PDT)
