General rules
- Do not use lists if text is read easily as plain paragraphs.
- Use proper wikimarkup.
- Do not leave blank lines between items in a bulleted or numbered list unless there is a reason to do so, since this causes the Wiki software to interpret each item as beginning a new list.
- Use numbers rather than bullets only if:
- a need to refer to the elements by number may arise;
- the sequence of the items is critical; or
- the numbering has some independent meaning.
- Use the same grammatical form for all elements in a list, and do not mix sentences and sentence fragments as elements.
- When the elements are complete sentences, each one is formatted with sentence case (its first letter is capitalized) and a final period (full stop).
