Wikipedia:Database reports/Short descriptions containing possibly invalid characters
This report contains potentially invalid characters in short descriptions. See WP:SDFORMAT and WP:MOS for guidance. The presence of a short description on this report does not necessarily mean that it needs to be changed; if you have questions, ask at Wikipedia talk:Short description.
If you see a valid character listed in the report below, please post a note at Wikipedia talk:Short description.
Common invalid characters include:
- curly quote marks (replace with straight quote marks or, in rare cases, prime (symbol) or ʻOkina)
- em dashes or minus signs instead of proper "–" en dash characters
- Unicode superscript, Unicode subscript, some math notation (rewriting the short description is often the best fix)
- Unicode fraction characters
This report excludes invisible space characters, which are invalid per MOS; see Wikipedia:Database reports/Short descriptions containing invalid space characters for articles using those characters.
Characters that are currently accepted by this report are:
- ASCII characters
- Other non-ASCII letters, such as Roman letters with accents
- en dash (–)
- multiplication sign (×) (Unicode 00D7)
- degree character (°) (Unicode 00B0)
- prime symbol characters (Unicode 2032–2037) (not to be confused with curly single quote marks)
- okina (Unicode 02BB) (not to be confused with curly single quote marks)
- inverted exclamation mark (¡) (Unicode 00A1) (used in multiple musical artist names, including ¡Mayday! and ¡All-Time Quarterback!)
- identical to (≡) (Unicode 2261)
There are several database reports that collect (potential) violations of the guidelines governing short descriptions. These include:

- Wikipedia:Database reports/Short descriptions containing possibly invalid characters
- Wikipedia:Database reports/Long short descriptions
- User:Uhai/Articles with page title matching short description
- User:LucasBrown/SD contains title
