List structure

To clarify a bit: in semantic terms, the list of the Seven Days' Battles is, indeed, a continuation of the preceding list rather than a separate listing it its own right:

                                        |--   Seven Days' Battles   --|
... Hanover Court House · Seven Pines · Oak Grove  · ... · Malvern Hill

The bolding is merely a visual effect, and strictly speaking isn't necessary to indicate the relationship between the items. If I'm not mistaken, the standard nested list format is therefore the appropriate one here. Kirill ^{[talk] [prof]} 02:58, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

No problem. The bolding is just coming from the ambient styling of definition list terms (";"). On British people I used {{nobold}} on some DTs. I've also argued for just overriding the bold for all DTs under class=hlist. This is all changing pretty fast, so there's some thrashing. Alarbus (talk) 03:04, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough. The new layouts look very nice, but, as you say, any change of this magnitude is going to involve some temporary chaos. Kirill ^{[talk] [prof]} 03:07, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks (re the looks). The big test template ATM is {{The Holocaust}}; discussed at template talk:navbox#Another hlist construct to consider. I've a large number of campaign boxes and such watched. I see a lot of people showing up after the hlist switch-over and they seem to find the new format much more approachable and easier to update. This is hitting on several good issues: semantics, reduced server load (millions and millions of {dot} not being preprocessed), and easy of editing. 03:28, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
