Create '''bulleted lists''' with asterisks (<code>*</code>):
 
{| width=100% border=0
{{columns|count=2|
|-
This...
| width=50%|This...
 
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap; width:150px">
* Item 1
* Item 3
</pre>
|
 
...produces this:
 
* Item 1
* Item 2
** Item 2b
* Item 3
}|}
 
=== Numbered Lists ===
Create '''numbered lists''' with number signs (<code>#</code>):
 
{| width=100% border=0
{{columns|count=2|
|-
This...
| width=50%|This...
 
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap; width:150px">
# Item 1
# Item 3
</pre>
|
 
...produces this:
 
# Item 1
# Item 2
## Item 2b
# Item 3
}|}
 
=== Mixed Lists ===
You can mix and match bulleted and numbered lists:
 
{| width=100% border=0
|-
| width=50%|This...
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap; width:150px">
# Item 1
# Item 2
#* Item 2a
#* Item 2b
# Item 3
</pre>
|
...produces:
# Item 1
# Item 2
#* Item 2a
#* Item 2b
# Item 3
|}
 
=== Description Lists ===
A '''description list''' is a list of bold terms, each followed by one or more lines of indented normal text. To create a description list, place each term on a new line and precede it with a semicolon (<code>;</code>). The following description is then preceded with a colon (<code>:</code>). Use multiple lines if desired. Do not use a semicolon simply to make something bold!
 
{| width=100% border=0
{{columns|count=2|
|-
This...
| width=50%|This...
 
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap; width:150px">
;Item 1
: description 2
</pre>
|
 
...produces this:
 
;Item 1
: description 1a
;Item 2
: description 2
|}}

;Username and timestamp
: Use four tildas (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>) to automatically leave your username and a timestamp. Use this on article discussion pages.
;Columns
: Use the {{t|columns}} template to create columns. Use <code><nowiki>{{columns|count=N|TEXT}}</nowiki></code>, where "N" is the desired number of columns and "TEXT" is the content to be split up into columns.
: Note: <code>|count=N</code> may be omitted; the number of columns is 3 by default.
