Wikipedia:Database reports/Short descriptions containing possibly invalid characters
This report contains potentially invalid characters in short descriptions. See WP:SDFORMAT and WP:MOS for guidance. The presence of a short description on this report does not necessarily mean that it needs to be changed; if you have questions, ask at Wikipedia talk:Short description.
If you see a valid character listed in the report below, please post a note at Wikipedia talk:Short description.
Common invalid characters include:
- curly quote marks (replace with straight quote marks or, in rare cases, prime (symbol) or ʻOkina)
- em dashes or minus signs instead of proper "–" en dash characters
- Unicode superscript, Unicode subscript, some math notation (rewriting the short description is often the best fix)
- Unicode fraction characters
This report excludes invisible space characters, which are invalid per MOS; see Wikipedia:Database reports/Short descriptions containing invalid space characters for articles using those characters.
Characters that are currently accepted by this report are:
- ASCII characters
- Other non-ASCII letters, such as Roman letters with accents
- en dash (–)
