Editors should structure articles with consistent, reader-friendly layouts and formatting (which are detailed in this guide). Where more than one style or format is acceptable under the MoS, one should be used consistently within an article and should not be changed without good reason. Edit warring over stylistic choices is unacceptable. [b]
This section should not contain excessive detail about the game's plot, descriptions about the setting, or game guide information.

After an editor has edited a disambiguation page to replace hyphens by dashes where they see fit, there is damage to the integrated system of links, for the case of Munroe–Dunlap–Snow House / Munroe-Dunlap-Snow House.
