Cartilage–hair hypoplasia → Cartilage-hair hypoplasia – Usage in the scientific literature is exclusively the hyphen "‐". The incessant changing to en dashes on Wikipedia has gone too far in this case: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". Speciate (talk) 05:11, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if you're aware, but there is currently an ArbCom injunction against moving articles to/from a hyphen/dash (see here). My suggestion would be for you to make your comments at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/dash drafting and Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/dash drafting/discussion where this being discussed extensively.

Etymology?
