As Jeremy points out, there is the possibility to globally disable numbered 
lists in the wikitext syntax, with the ControlPanel settings. 

If you really use hash-tags a lot, even in texts, that don't make use of 
it, I think it would be save for you to switch it of.

Reasoning: 

As I started to use TW (several years ago), I used numbered lists quite a 
lot. But at the moment I don't use them at all. ... 

I use numbered lists basically for one reason. I want to mention (link back 
to) them later in the text. eg: "As you can see in 1.1 bla bla"

The problem now is, that after some refactoring most of the time my 
"static" lists are turned into dynamic lists using tiddlers and the 
<<list>> macro or widgets. So all the "hash tagged" list references are 
outdated. Or the items in the list are moved up and down. ... Some may 
argue now, that TW should implement a mechanism similar to word, where the 
program automagically changes the references. ... but that doesn't work ... 

I don't use one TW file - I use many and they are all linked in one way or 
the other. 

Also the numbering may change, depending on the context some information is 
used. It turns out for me 1.1 in one context would need to be 2.1 in a 
different context, because tiddlers contain highly reusable content. So not 
using numbers at all, is the easiest way to avoid the problem. 

just my 2 cents

have fun!
