168850 - copyright date range using hyphen instead of en dash

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter K. Sheerin]

> 
This isn't very important, but the copyright string at the bottom of 
mozilla.org/start (and likely other places) says ...(c) 
1998-2002...--using a regular hyphen between the years. It would look 
better, and be typographically correct, if you used an EN dash there, as 
in 1998–2002. (EN dashes are used for numeric ranges, instead of 
"through" or "to"; also for geographic relationships, as in the 
Mason–Dixon line.). HTML entity code: –
 
See alistapart.com/stories/emen/ if you want more detail on dashes.

When changing the templates, you should probably change all of:

about/get-involved.html
docs/web-developer/sniffer/browser_type.html
index.html
products/camino/index.html
products/firebird/index.html
products/firebird/system-requirements.html
products/firefox/affiliates/index.html
products/firefox/buttons.html
products/firefox/download.html
products/firefox/get/index.html
products/firefox/shelf.html
products/firefox/start/0.8/index.html
products/firefox/start/index.html
products/firefox/system-requirements.html
products/firefox/themes.html
products/firefox/why/index.html
products/mozilla1.x/download/index.html
products/mozilla1.x/sysreq.html
products/thunderbird/buttons.html
products/thunderbird/download.html
products/thunderbird/releases/0.6-release-notes.html
products/thunderbird/sysreq.html
products/thunderbird/why/index.html
projects/ui/accessibility/cross-ref-apis.html
quality/smoketests/index.html
sitemap.html

(At least, that's the list from the last time I had to.)

Most of those are covered under the products template or have redirects to some
other place. There are a couple that aren't yet using a template, but they
should be changed to use the product template. I went through each item on your
list; see post in n.p.m.documentation

Home page is fixed, closing bug.
