I'm pretty relaxed about this. I know that Google used to advise against it for SEO reasons, but is that still a big deal? 🤷‍♂️

Well, besides what Google may want, the rest of the site (and GOV.UK) uses -, so its a bit out of character (pun intended).

Yeah, fair. I always had a personal preference for underscores (to help disambiguate man-eating_shark from man_eating_shark) but I think I lost that one... 😄

Changing it would involve breaking URLs, so ideally we’d add a redirect rule to convert all underscores to hyphens.
