Another styletip ... US or U.S.? In American English, U.S. (with points) is more common as the standard abbreviation for United States, although The Chicago Manual of Style now deprecates the use of the periods (16th ed.).

dashes.js is suddenly broken

Something you changed in the last couple days may have broken the dashes.js script. I minus sign no longer appears at the page top... just "auto ed." There talk about it at User talk:Ohconfucius/dashes.js. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:15, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm seeing the same thing... use this amazing script all the time! Hope it can be fixed. —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:00, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Now fixed. Many thanks to User:William Avery for the workaround proposed. -- Ohc  11:26, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Still broken for me using Chrome. Microsoft Edge is also broken. Used shift-reload to reset the cache and it didn't work. No "-" at the page top, only "an auto ed" that brings up "AutoEd/core.js: autoEdFunctions is undefined". Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:29, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

The fix I applied was to User:Ohconfucius/dashes.js and not to the original script, which you have loaded. You need to ensure that my updated version is being imported in your common file. -- Ohc  22:10, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages screenshot licensing

Hello! I see that you uploaded File:Update screenshot for activating MOSNUM dates.png to Misplaced Pages. However, the GFDL has been phased out for new uploads on enwiki. To clarify the license of the image, would you be able to add {{Misplaced Pages-screenshot}} to the file description page? Thanks! HouseBlaster 21:20, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

MOSNUM Script

Hi. Thanks for the script! Are changes like ] to 1979, and ] to 1974, from Special:Diff/1112468928 an intended effect of the script? There are loads of these types of link in snooker articles. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 08:40, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Script exception

Hi. Could you add an exception to the dash script so it wont break the {{Israel populations|Tel Aviv - Yafo}} template? Thanks. –Daveout(talk) 23:53, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
