dashes vs underscores in URL
In URL rewriting, i am quite confused that should i use underscore (_) OR hyphen (-) to replace spaces. According to this and this, hyphen should be used. But wikipedia uses underscores like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network_programming. so which should be used?

You can use whatever you want. It doesn't matter (from a technical point of view; there may be other reasons to choose one over the other).
