You saw an example of bulleted lists at the top of Figure 14-1, with wikitext in Figure 14-2. That's an embedded list, but the code is exactly the same for standalone lists. That kind of bulleted list created with asterisks is the oldest form of Wikipedia list, and it's still the most common for standalone lists, since it's so easy to use.
However, bulleted lists are typical in the reference, further reading, and external links sections towards the end of the article. Bullet points are usually not separated by blank lines, as that causes an accessibility issue ( see MOS:LISTGAP for ways to create multiple paragraphs within list items that do not cause this issue).
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bulleted list. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. This template is used on approximately 75,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed.

Lists present similar information in bulleted, enumerated, or definition format. Lists may be embedded in articles or may be stand-alone articles. Lists should have a self-explanatory title, and a lead-in description with further explanation as required. Lists, categories, and navigation templates are synergistic.
It is also possible to present short lists using very basic formatting, such as: ''Title of list:'' example 1, example 2, example 3 Title of list: example 1, example 2, example 3 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.
