+ This page deals with creating lists in Mediawiki.

+
3
+ == List basics ==
4
+
5
+ [[MediaWiki]] offers three types of lists. '''Ordered lists''', '''unordered lists''', and '''definition lists'''. In the following sections, ordered lists are used for examples. Unordered lists would give corresponding results.

87
+ == Paragraphs in lists ==
88
+
89
+ For simplicity, list items in wiki markup cannot be longer than a paragraph. A following blank line will end the list and reset the counter on ordered lists. Separating unordered list items usually has no noticeable effects.
90
+
91
+ Paragraphs can be forced in lists by using HTML tags. Two line break symbols, <code><nowiki><br><br></nowiki></code>, will create the desired effect. So will enclosing all but the first paragraph with <code><nowiki><p>...</p></nowiki></code>
92
+
93
+ For a list with items of more than one paragraph long, adding a blank line between items may be necessary to avoid confusion.
94
+
95
+ *lists
96
+ **ordered lists
97
+ **unordered lists
98
+ ***definition lists
99
+
100
+ ==Continuing a list item after a sub-item==
101
+
102
+ In HTML, a list item may contain several sublists, not necessarily adjacent; thus there may be parts of the list item not only before the first sublist, but also between sublists, and after the last one; however, in wiki-syntax, sublists follow the same rules as sections of a page: the only possible part of the list item not in sublists is before the first sublist.
103
+
104
+ In the case of an unnumbered first-level list in wikitext code this limitation can be overcome by splitting the list into multiple lists; indented text between the partial lists may visually serve as part of a list item after a sublist; however, this may give, depending on CSS, a blank line before and after each list, in which case, for uniformity, every first-level list item could be made a separate list.
105
+
106
+ Numbered lists illustrate that what should look like one list may, for the software, consist of multiple lists; unnumbered lists give a corresponding result, except that the problem of restarting with 1 is not applicable.

165
+
166
+ == Changing the list type ==
167
+
168
+ The list type (which type of marker appears before the list item) can be changed in CSS by setting the [http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#lists list-style-type] property:
169

185
+ |-
186
+ |}
187
+
188
+ ==Extra indentation of lists==
189
+ In a numbered list in a large font, some browsers do not show more than two digits, unless extra indentation is applied (if there are multiple columns: for each column). This can be done with CSS:
190
+ ol { margin-left: 2cm}
191
+ or alternatively, like below.
192
+
193
+ {|border=1
194

+ </nowiki>
203
+ |
204
+ :#abc
205
+ :#def
206
+ :#ghi
207
+ | A list of one or more lines starting with a colon creates a [http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/lists.html#edef-DL definition list] without definition terms, and with the items as definition descriptions, hence indented. However, if the colons are in front of the codes "*" or "#" of an unordered or ordered list, the list is treated as one definition description, so the whole list is indented.
208
+ |-
209
+ |
210

211
+ <ul>
212
+ <ol>

224
+ <li>ghi</li>
225
+ </ol>
226
+ </ul>
227
+ | MediaWiki translates an unordered list (ul) without any list items (li) into a div with a <code>style="margin-left: 2em"</code>, causing indentation of the contents. This is '''the most versatile method''', as it allows starting with a number other than 1, see below.
228
+
229
+ |-
230
+ |
231
+ <nowiki>
232
+ <ul>
233

+ #ghi
236
+ </ul>
237

238

239
+ <ul>
240
+ #abc
241
+ #def
242
+ #ghi
243
+ </ul>
244
+ |Like above, with the content of the "unordered list without any list items", which itself is an ordered list, expressed with # codes. The HTML produced, and hence the rendering, is the same. This is the '''recommended''' method when not starting with a number other than 1.
245
+
246
+ |}
247
+
248
+ To demonstrate that all three methods show all digits of 3-digit numbers, see [[m:Help:List demo|List demo]].
249
+
250
+ ==Specifying a starting value==
251
+ Specifying a starting value is only possible with HTML syntax.
252
+ (W3C has deprecated the <code>start</code> and <code>value</code> attributes as used below in HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0. But as of 2007, no popular web browsers implement CSS counters, which were to replace these attributes. Wikimedia projects use XHTML Transitional, which contains the deprecated attributes.)
253
+
254
+ <pre>
255
+ <ol start="9">
256
+ <li>Amsterdam</li>
257
+ <li>Rotterdam</li>
258
+ <li>The Hague</li>
259
+ </ol>
260
+ </pre>
261
+ gives
262
+ <ol start="9">
263
+ <li>Amsterdam</li>
264
+ <li>Rotterdam</li>
265
+ <li>The Hague</li>
266
+ </ol>
267
+
268
+ Or:
269
+ <pre>
270
+ <ol>
271
+ <li value="9">Amsterdam</li>
272
+ <li value="8">Rotterdam</li>
273
+ <li value="7">The Hague</li>
274
+ </ol>
275
+ </pre>
276
+ gives
277
+ <ol>
278
+ <li value="9">Amsterdam</li>
279
+ <li value="8">Rotterdam</li>
280
+ <li value="7">The Hague</li>
281
+ </ol>
282
+
283
+ ==Comparison with a table==
284
+ Apart from providing automatic numbering, the numbered list also aligns the contents of the items, comparable with using table syntax:
285
+ <pre>
286
+ {|
287
+ |-
288
+ | align=right | 9.||Amsterdam
289
+ |-
290
+ | align=right | 10.||Rotterdam
291
+ |-
292
+ | align=right | 11.||The Hague
293
+ |}
294
+ </pre>
295
+ gives
296
+ {|
297
+ |-
298
+ | align=right | 9.||Amsterdam
299
+ |-
300
+ | align=right | 10.||Rotterdam
301
+ |-
302
+ | align=right | 11.||The Hague
303
+ |}
304
+
305
+ This non-automatic numbering has the advantage that if a text refers to the numbers, insertion or deletion of an item does not disturb the correspondence.
306
+
307
+ ==Multi-column bulleted list==
308
+ <pre>
309
+ {|
310
+ |
311
+ *1
312
+ *2
313
+ |
314
+ *3
315
+ *4
316
+ |}
317
+ </pre>
318
+ gives:
319
+ {|
320
+ |
321
+ *1
322
+ *2
323
+ |
324
+ *3
325
+ *4
326
+ |}
327
+
328
+ ==Multi-column numbered list==
329
+ Specifying a starting value is useful for a numbered list with multiple columns, to avoid restarting from one in each column. As mentioned above, this is only possible with HTML-syntax (for the first column either wiki-syntax or HTML-syntax can be used).
330
+
331
+ In combination with the extra indentation explained in the previous section:
332
+ <pre>
333
+ {| valign="top"
334
+ |-
335
+ |<ul><ol start="125"><li>a<li>bb<li>ccc</ol></ul>
336
+ |<ul><ol start="128"><li>ddd<li>ee<li>f</ol></ul>
337
+ |}
338
+ </pre>
339
+
340
+ gives
341
+
342
+ {| valign="top"
343
+ |-
344
+ |<ul><ol start="125"><li>a<li>bb<li>ccc</ol></ul>
345
+ |<ul><ol start="128"><li>ddd<li>ee<li>f</ol></ul>
346
+ |}
347
+
348
+ Using {{tim|multi-column numbered list}} the computation of the starting values can be automated, and only the first starting value and the number of items in each column except the last has to be specified. Adding an item to, or removing an item from a column requires adjusting only one number, the number of items in that column, instead of changing the starting numbers for all subsequent columns.
349
+
350
+ <pre>{{Multi-column numbered list|125|a<li>bb<li>ccc|3|<li>ddd<li>ee<li>f}}</pre>
351
+
352
+ gives
353
+
354
+ {{Multi-column numbered list|125|a<li>bb<li>ccc|3|<li>ddd<li>ee<li>f}}
355
+
356
+ <pre>{{Multi-column numbered list|lst=lower-alpha|125|a<li>bb<li>ccc|3|<li>ddd<li>ee|2|<li>f}}</pre>
357
+
358
+ gives
359
+
360
+ {{Multi-column numbered list|lst=lower-alpha|125|a<li>bb<li>ccc|3|<li>ddd<li>ee|2|<li>f}}
361
+
362
+ <pre>{{Multi-column numbered list|lst=lower-roman|125|a<li>bb<li>ccc|3|<li>ddd<li>ee|2|<li>f}}</pre>
363
+
364
+ gives
365
+
366
+ {{Multi-column numbered list|lst=lower-roman|125|a<li>bb<li>ccc|3|<li>ddd<li>ee|2|<li>f}}
367
+
368
+ <pre>{{Multi-column numbered list|lst=disc|125|a<li>bb<li>ccc|3|<li>ddd<li>ee|2|<li>f}}</pre>
369
+
370
+ gives
371
+
372
+ {{Multi-column numbered list|lst=disc|125|a<li>bb<li>ccc|3|<li>ddd<li>ee|2|<li>f}}
373
+
374
+ Note that the starting values of each column (125, +3, +2) have no effect when the disc list type is used.
375
+
376
+ ==Streamlined style or horizontal style==
377
+ It is also possible to present short lists using very basic formatting, such as:
378
+
379
+ <nowiki>''Title of list:''</nowiki> example 1, example 2, example 3
380
+
381
+ ''Title of list:'' example 1, example 2, example 3
382
+
383
+ This style requires less space on the page, and is preferred if there are only a few entries in the list, it can be read easily, and a direct edit point is not required. The list items should start with a lowercase letter unless they are proper nouns.
384
+
385
+ ==Tables==
386
+ A one-column table is very similar to a list, but it allows sorting. If the wikitext itself is already sorted with the same sortkey, this advantage does not apply.
387
+ A multiple-column table allows sorting on any column.
388
+
389
+ See also .
390
+
391
+ ==Changing unordered lists to ordered ones==
392
+ With the CSS
393
+ ul { list-style: decimal }
394
+ unordered lists are changed to ordered ones. This applies (as far as the CSS selector does not restrict this) to all ul-lists in the HTML source code:
395
+ *those produced with *
396
+ *those with <nowiki><ul></nowiki> in the wikitext
397
+ *those produced by the system
398
+
399
+ Since each special page, like other pages, has a class based on the pagename, one can separately specify for each type whether the lists should be ordered, see [[Help:User contributions#User styles]] and [[Help:What links here#User styles]].
400
+
401
+ However, it does not seem possible to make all page history lists ordered (unless one makes ''all'' lists ordered), because the class name is based on the page for which the history is viewed.

+ The '''pipe trick''' is a way (or really several ways) to create links without having to type a lot of extra text. The advantage is that you are less likely to make a mistake when you type less. It's also easier for others to edit it. To create the [[pipe character]] ("|") press (SHIFT + BACKSLASH ["\"]) on English-layout and some other keyboards.
2
+ When you place a [[Vertical bar|pipe character]] ("'''|'''") after an [[Wikipedia:What is an article?|article]] title which ends with a [[Bracket#Parentheses ( )|parenthesized]] term or contains a [[comma (punctuation)|comma]] or [[Colon (punctuation)|colon]], the [[wiki software]] transforms what you entered. The non-parenthesized part of the article title is used as the visible part of the link. This does not work in edit summaries, and in certain other cases (listed below).

+ ==Where it does not work==
38
+ ===Cite.php &lt;ref&gt; footnotes===
39
+ <!-- The pipe trick auto-converts, for example, <nowiki>[[Roger Taylor (author)|]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>[[Roger Taylor (author)|Roger Taylor]]</nowiki> -->
40
+
41
+ The trick does not work when enclosing between [[wikipedia:footnotes|"ref" tags]]. <code><nowiki><ref>[[Roger Taylor (author)|]]</ref></nowiki></code><ref>[[Roger Taylor (author)|]]</ref> renders in the references list (generated by the <nowiki><references/></nowiki> tag) as:
42
+
43
+ <references/>
44
+ ===Edit summaries===
45
+ <!-- The pipe trick auto-converts, for example, <nowiki>[[WP:SAND|]]</nowiki> to [[WP:SAND|SAND]] -->
46
+
47
+ The trick does not work in edit summaries. <code><nowiki>/* Edit summaries and the pipe trick */ as tested in [[WP:SAND|]]</nowiki></code> renders in the edit history as:
48
+
49
+ <span class="comment">(<span class="autocomment">[[#Edit summaries and the pipe trick|→]]Edit summaries and the pipe trick:</span> as tested in [[WP:SAND]])</span>
50
+
51
+ == Slash trick ==
52
+ You can achieve the same effect for subpages by adding a slash: <code><nowiki>[[/subpage/]]</nowiki></code> generates the same output as <code><nowiki>[[/subpage|subpage]]</nowiki></code>. Unlike the pipe trick, though, it will not be transformed in the [[wikitext]].
53
+
54
+ This trick only works in namespaces where <code><nowiki>[[/subpage]]</nowiki></code> would.
55
+
56
+ == Reverse pipe trick ==
57
+ Typing <tt><nowiki>[[|Agonizer]]</nowiki></tt> on, for example, [[Agonist (disambiguation)]] will cause the link to be expanded to <tt>[[[[Agonizer (disambiguation)]]|Agonizer]]</tt>; similarly on a page with a name containing a comma. Using the reverse pipe trick on a page that has no parentheses or comma in its name is unproductive; the pipe character is automatically removed.
58
+
59
+ ==Try it!==
60
+ The best way to understand this is to try it yourself in the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]]. Use one of the examples under "Type this" above, save the page, then immediately edit it again. You'll see the transformation, and it should be clearer exactly what happened.
