A line break in the wikimarkup of a list item will end not just the item but the entire list, and reset the counter on ordered lists. Separating unordered list items with blank lines may look approximately normal on-screen, but it creates many separate one-item lists, which is a problem for people using screen readers and is discouraged by the ...
Use a bulleted (unordered) list by default, especially for long lists. Use a numbered (ordered) list only if there is a need to refer to items by number, the sequence of items is important, or the numbering exists in the real world (e.g., tracks on an album).
This template is used on approximately 650,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage.
Ordered list items have a wider margin to accomodate for (larger) numbers: Item 1; Item 9999; The margin is twice as wide as those for unordered list items, so you can still line them up with wiki-markup. — Edokter (talk) — 10:01, 31 January 2013 (UTC) Aha! Again thanks. To the original poster: why do you want to change the list-style-type?
The template {} (for "list item dot") simulates, as closely as possible within the bounds of differences between browsers, the appearance of the bullet used by Wikipedia in unordered lists. Its variants {{ lidot2 }} and {{ lidot3 }} do the same, with minor enhancements for more consistent list appearance in certain cases, as documented below.
I want a nested list with the top level unbulleted and the subordinate list bulleted. Unfortunately nesting {{unordered list}} inside {} (or {}) produces a visually flat list, because there are no bullets or indentation due to it inheriting the list-style-type and margin-left: {{ubl|Foo{{unordered list|Bar|Baz}}|Quux}}
Lists are prone to suffering from unclear criteria or a non-neutral point of view, which may actually be the same problem. Examples include List of exploitative companies, List of authoritarian leaders, and even List of famous Brazilian people. (Change "famous" in the last example to "notable," and the problem goes away, since Wikipedia has ...
{{br separated entries}} (displays a list with an item per line) {} (same as above, but using regular unordered list markup) {} (converts a regular unordered list into an inline list separated by interpuncts) {} (formats a list of internal links as prose, using commas or "and" when appropriate)
