Xenharmonic Wiki talk:Conventions
List formatting
Can we talk about Xenharmonic Wiki:Conventions#Lists? Why is it discouraged to use standard Wikitext lists?? Can we have a vote or something? —Keenan Pepper (talk) 18:57, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- FREEZE used the truly standard list model. We should all trust FREEZE. PiotrGrochowski (talk) 19:00, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- I think FREEZE is simply wrong about this. It's just bullshit and has nothing to do with the wiki idea. (I hope you were just kidding, Piotr) --Xenwolf (talk) 19:06, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Nope. The standard list model really is the most reliable. Ever heard of Internet Explorer 6? PiotrGrochowski (talk) 19:21, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

- Absolutely yes (to Keenan): I love the "inoffical lists" and hate the
<ul><li></li></ul>stuff. Why make it so complicated??? Wiki means fast. I don't see anythong faster than placing*at the beginning of the listed items. I'm not aware that this was being discussed somewhere. --Xenwolf (talk) 19:03, 30 September 2018 (UTC)- The "FREEZE" thing was just me and Tyler playing with this until we got it to work. We never intended for these conventions to become standardized, it was just the easiest way to parse. Mike Battaglia (talk) 19:36, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
Informal poll
In favor of Wikitext (*) lists (2): User:Keenan Pepper, User:Xenwolf
In favor of HTML-style (<ul><li>...) lists (1): User:PiotrGrochowski
Should we imitate FREEZE artefacts?
In my opinion this would be contra-productive. Every wiki syntax aims to be as simple as possible and obvious also in the wiki text. You get the idea of markup's purpose easily. Ans it's easy to adapt for people new to the wiki ho to achieve a goal. It's normally not necessary to know HTML tags for editing wiki content. That's why lists should be created the wiki way (using * and #).

- I will always make lists with the proper, canonical syntax. What languages do various users know? is my page, therefore it is very clean, using the standard list model. PiotrGrochowski (talk) 19:25, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
What is the "Xenharmonic Wiki" Namespace for?
When do we use this instead of making a regular page? Mike Battaglia (talk) 19:41, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
