My response was not about paragraphs doing unexpected things in different
circumstances, but rather the ability to have paragraphs be of a defined
type, rather than "fixing" whatever they contain.

I would think, being able to address a given paragraph directly instead of
its contents, will do away with a few inconsistencies... and whenever you
use a negative margin, chances are you were just not able to properly
address the element you actually wanted to define.

Not entirely convinced there isn't a backwards-incompatible way to assign
classes to paragraphs.
However, playing a bit more with paragraphs and their margins, I've come to
think that using the list-links macro inline as you have with a class is
actually the only way to handle this. Otherwise, the problem is not only
the margin of the paragraph that wraps some output, but rather the bottom
margin of a preceding paragraph. So, to avoid that, you are forced to have
your content parsed inline, with all the consequences, e.g. having to use
actual html rather than wikitext. What do I mean? Try these two, and you
know what I mean:
title: Test
Some list... {{Foo}}
title: Foo
* foo
* bar
* baz
So, Ideally, we would want to be able to have content parsed in block mode,
but without the paragraphs ...and perhaps only linebreaks.
Maybe there would be a way to have wikitext rendered that way, as opposed
to either inline mode or block mode. Fwiw, using triple quotes doesn't do
the job.
This could be a syntax to trigger that behavior:
@@!
Always render in block mode but do not render paragraphs, but linebreaks
instead.

Best wishes,
Tobias.
