:On Commons, we try to avoid country/language/keyboard depending characters, such as em-dash as this is a source of problems (as you can see when editing this text, the difference is almost non-discernible). See in [[Commons:Categories for discussion/2011/10/Category:Bilateral relations by country]] for rationale.

:: The railway specific problem is, that many train station names contain a "-". So its necessary to use the longer "–" for relation. The list [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ACategories&from=Bahnstrecke+ how they are mixed-up (lightly)] shows, that this version is much more common. --[[User:Andre de|Andre de]] ([[User talk:Andre de|talk]]) 11:30, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
