MediaWiki’s wikitable class (class="wikitable") is designed for straightforward table formatting and enforces certain global styles that make removing borders between adjacent cells challenging even if custom CSS styles attempt to eliminate these borders. Specifically, the class includes:
The article List of places in Alabama: D–H. The box near the top of the article, with text that begins "Places in Alabama", is there because the underlying wikitext includes the template {{List of places in Alabama}}. That template also appears at the top of the other five lists (A-C, I-K, L-N, O-R, and S-Z) that comprise a single list.
In lists of links such as inside infoboxes and navboxes, use a horizontal list (perhaps via the template {}) to format lists. For occasional cases where you need to delineate two pieces of text outside of a list, you can use the templates {{·}} or {{•}} which contain a before the dot, thus handling some of the wrapping problems.
The format is to surround the hidden text with "<!--" and "-->" and may cover several lines, e.g.: An example of hidden comments This won't be visible except in "edit" mode. --> Another way to include a comment in the wiki markup uses the {{ Void }} template, which can be abbreviated as {{ ^ }} .
An entry consists of a block on the "left", or start inline direction, and a block sequence on the "right", or end inline direction. The block on the left is conceptually what would be the number or bullet in a list. However, it could just as easily be a string of text, as one might see in a glossary entry. The block on the right works as expected.
• Choose a text color. • Choose a background text color. • Change your emails format. • Add emoticons. • Find and replace text, clear formatting, or add the time. • Insert a saved image. • Insert a hyperlink.
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.
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.
