The total number of articles in this category should be: 659 (630 constituencies, +30 byelections in the Parliament, -1 because in Lincoln the incumbent MP was re-elected). Sam Blacketer 20:09, 19 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Once again we see a respect in which categories are inferior to lists: This category needs to get moved to Category:UK MPs 1970–1974 to comply with WP:MOS, but moving categories is not easy, to say the least. Michael Hardy (talk) 15:17, 2 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

That has been proposed before, but the consensus has been that the dash is easier to type than the endash.
Categories and lists serve different purposes, so the inferiority argument is pointless. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:56, 2 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
