Function overview: Replace hyphens with endashes within the relevant years parameters in {{tl|Infobox football biography}} as per MOS:DASH

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): None; this task is non-controversial and similar to past tasks such as Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/DASHBot, which took the much more significant action of moving pages to make the same stylistic change. See also Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BU RoBOT 16, Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BU RoBOT 21, and Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BU RoBOT 22

Edit period(s): One-time run, possibly recurring at some point in the distant future to pick up new incorrect uses of hyphens.

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: See Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BU RoBOT 21 for all the relevant details. This task uses the exact same code with the parameter names changed. No errors were ever reported for the multiple previous runs of this type of task.

{{BotSpeedy}} Hope I'm not jumping ahead by giving speedy approval, but given the circumstances a new trial would nearly seem like a repeat of the other three similar tasks, all of which had no issues — MusikAnimal ^talk 21:04, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
