An author of a wiki page can make use of a USEflag template, which will automagically create a table with the USE flags and the descriptions in the wiki page. When a description of a used USE flag contains a single dash surrounded by spaces (" - ") then the spaces and the dash are not shown in the table. So far I have found two examples, but there may be more: 1) https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Squid#USE_flags qos: shows " conntracksee" instead of "conntrack - see" 2) https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Motion#USE_flags sqlite: shows "sqliteembedded" instead of "sqlite - embedded" This is not something a wiki author can change. It either needs to be changed in the wiki USEFlag template (preferred), or USE flag descriptions need to avoid " - " in their descriptions. Note that https://www.gentoo.org/support/use-flags is able to render " - " in USE flag descriptions properly.

The data we are given is what we display. The feed https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-proxy/squid.json (for example) is the source of the first example and has the same problem with sqlite as well and more flags too. If the json is fixed, the wiki will be too.
Fix pushed to staging area [1]. Will close when pushed to main p.g.o. [1] https://packagestest.gentoo.org/
