Hi, Many must have informally requested it: would it be possible and desirable to have -- be interpreted as em-dash (—)? It's a very useful symbol, particularly in the context of writing an encyclopaedia, but is not readily available on the keyboard. Many editors already seem to naturally use -- to try and imitate a proper em-dash.
I filed a bug and attached a patch for that: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6402
