Can someone please set up a redirect for both win-win and lose-lose so they go to win–win and lose–lose, respectively? These terms should technically both have en dashes, not hyphens.

source do not support the definition

[edit]

This definition use a quote from the rail magazine. https://www.railmagazine.com/rail-review/insight/how-can-freight-be-a-major-part-of-rail-s-future

The part quoted use lose-lose to denote both parties (both freight railways and passenger railways) are losing from the current situation and could turn this into a win-win where both parties win

As in the game theory related use of the term lose-lose = both parties involved have negative sum.


The term "win-win" is also mentioned in this article in Antonym, with use the correct game theory meaning. And contradict the definition in this article.


I believe the definition should be changed keeping the original source. 2A0D:6FC7:440:B3CD:1113:18DA:D65D:9B0 12:10, 26 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
