Punctuation errors on the "Financial Reports" page

This page uses en dashes to identify financial years, when the dash should be restricted to ranges of years. That is according to the WP-en MOS and to general punctuation guidelines used by the publishing industry. I can't edit the page myself to fix.

It's arguable that the "2021-2022" financial year, with a hyphen, should be "2021/2022". But it's clearly wrong to typeset "2018–2019" with an en dash. It's not a period of two years, 2018 through 2019, but a single year that spans part of 2018 and part of 2019. At the very least it should be changed to a simple hyphen, but slashes are the norm for financial and school years. With a slash, unlike a hyphen, it's clear that the punctuation isn't a mistake for an en dash. Kwamikagami (talk) 21:38, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
