Not working

{{Ordered list|type=lower-roman|First|Second|Third}} produces

1. First
2. Second
3. Third

which appears here (Firefox) as

What am I missing? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:20, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Module:List seems to be broken. I've raised the issue there. — Edokter (talk) — 13:01, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, that was my fault - I introduced a variable clash while trying to tidy up the code. Should be fixed now. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 13:26, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Speaking of not working, I was just fooling around with this in a sandbox. I couldn't get |type= to work together with |start= each time. I set a start point in a numerically ordered list and it worked just fine. I didn't get the same results with upper alpha order; no matter what I did, it started at "A." instead of at another letter of my choosing, which was what I was striving for in this case.

You have to use a number for the start value, even if the type is not numerical. So to start with "C", use |start=3. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 11:47, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Negative numbers

Please format negative numbers with correct typographic minuses (−) instead of hyphens (-). — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 01:44, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

I'd like bold for the list_style_type but not the item_style value

e.g.
font-weight:bolder for 1 but not 'first'
font-weight:bolder for 2 but not 'second'

Display error on mobile

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T272558

On the mobile site (both Chrome Desktop and Chrome Mobile), only the first paragraph is correctly indented. On closer inspection, only the first paragraph is wrapped inside <dl>, which is causing the error. Example:

1. Entry 1

   Paragraph 1 (correctly indented)

2. Entry 2

   Paragraph 2 (no indentation)

3. Entry 3

   Paragraph 3

• This seems to be about the output of the template, see this diff which seems to fix it (subst'd output of the template) - if the li's get a line break before them it seems to fix it. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:41, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
  • @DannyS712: if you have time would you take a look at this, may be related to some work at Module:List. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:42, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

    @Xaosflux not sure why you're asking me, not very familiar with this template or the list module, and that module is fully protected so I can't really do anything DannyS712 (talk) 03:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

    • @DannyS712: sorry, saw you in the history - but it was just processing a request. — xaosflux ^Talk 03:25, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
• @Intforce: this may be a parser bug, I've opened phab:T272558 for further technical review. — xaosflux ^Talk 03:41, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Countdown list

Any way to make the list count down backwards (3, 2, 1, 0)? – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 20:21, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

<ol reversed> <li>Line 1</li> <li>Line 2</li> <li>Line 3</li> </ol>

1. Line 1
2. Line 2
3. Line 3
