List items should be formatted consistently in a list. Unless there is a good reason to use different list types in the same page, consistency throughout an article is also desirable. Use sentence case by default for list items, whether they are complete sentences or not. Sentence case is used for around 99% of lists on Wikipedia.
English function words may be spelled with fewer than three letters; e.g., 'I', 'an', 'in', while non-function words usually are spelled with three or more (e.g., 'eye', 'Ann', 'inn'). The following is a list of the kind of words considered to be function words with English examples. They are all uninflected in English unless marked otherwise:
[[Category:List formatting and function templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:List formatting and function templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.
There are three types of lists: unordered lists, ordered lists, and description lists (a.k.a. definition lists or association lists).In the following sections, various list types are used for different examples, but other list types will generally give corresponding results.
Don't use a list where prose would work better. Don't create lists based on trivial criteria. Don't leave blank lines between list items. Don't use a numbered list unless the numbers are meaningful. Don't mix different grammatical forms among list items.
Stand-alone lists (also referred to as list articles) are articles composed of one or more embedded lists, or series of items formatted into a list.Many stand-alone lists identify their content's format in their titles, beginning with descriptors such as "List of" (List of sovereign states), "Timeline of" (Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic), or similar.
A thesaurus is composed by at least three elements: 1-a list of words (or terms), 2-the relationship amongst the words (or terms), indicated by their hierarchical relative position (e.g. parent/broader term; child/narrower term, synonym, etc.), 3-a set of rules on how to use the thesaurus.
A traditional imperative program might use a loop to traverse and modify a list. A functional program, on the other hand, would probably use a higher-order "map" function that takes a function and a list, generating and returning a new list by applying the function to each list item.
