This affords the opportunity to add the talk page and special pages to the mix (like displaying the user's contributions and other display commands from Wikipedia's "special" menu).

Can include unlinked items. For example, List of compositions by Franz Schubert, or, if appropriate, red links. See WP:Write the article first.

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.
