Quoting lists
editIf the text you are quoting is a bulleted or numbered list, the first list item must start on a new line, or it won't be rendered properly. For example:
Wiki-markup | Output |
---|---|
Wrong way
{{talkquote|* Item one * Item two }} |
First item isn't bulleted correctly:
|
Right way
{{talkquote| * Item one * Item two }} |
All items are bulleted correctly:
|
If you are using the |text=
named parameter, the MediaWiki parser automatically removes line breaks at the start of the text, causing the list to be displayed improperly. To stop this happening, add <nowiki />
after the =
sign:
Wiki-markup | Output |
---|---|
Wrong way
{{talkquote|text= # Item one # Item two }} |
First item isn't numbered correctly:
|
Right way
{{talkquote|text=<nowiki /> # Item one # Item two }} |
All items are numbered correctly:
