Editing Help:List (section)

==Changing unordered lists to ordered ones==
With the CSS:
<pre>ul { list-style: decimal }</pre>

unordered lists are changed to ordered ones. This applies (as far as the CSS selector does not restrict this) to all ul-lists in the HTML source code:
* those produced with *
* those with <nowiki><ul></nowiki> in the wikitext
* those produced by the system

Since each special page, like other pages, has a class based on the pagename, one can separately specify for each type whether the lists should be ordered, see [[Help:Customising skins]]. Use: <code>body.page-Special_Contributions ul { list-style: decimal }</code> for [[Special:Contributions]] and <code>body.mw-special-Whatlinkshere ul { list-style: decimal }</code> for [[Special:Whatlinkshere]]. However, it does not seem possible to make all page history lists ordered (unless one makes all lists ordered), because the class name is based on the page for which the history is viewed.
