You're only considering en.wiki usage; : is used in many places on other projects. Nested lists worked perfectly, unless one want things like # ## #* #** #*# to "work" and be aligned, which is obviously impossible. > > Robin has already said why, and I've reopened the bug based on complaints on > > Italian wikis. > > Reclosing again...

This bug has not been fixed properly so reopening it is the usual process for what I see. I'm not a CSS guru so I don't know how to avoid the problem that «it seems as if the indented text is part of the bullet text». I also want to asses the merit of your complaints, given that you're only providing confused anecdotal references to supposed usages of nested lists (please provide guidelines instead, or statistics on usage) and links to discussions with very few participants and not even unanimity. As regards discussions, which seems to be your only point, the problem is now bigger than before because comments indented with : could now look written by the same user as comments indented with * above them, which is a severe regression making discussions a mess. But if you want links like yours, here are some complaints https://it.wikiquote.org/?oldid=466240#Indentazione , here a guideline which requires the old system [[q:it:Wikiquote:Trascrizione]], here one of the hundreds of pages broken by the change [[:q:it:Tito Livio]], [[q:it:MediaWiki:Common.css]] had to be changed. Usage on all Wikiquotes and Wiktionaries, which are the main users of lists, must be considered. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
