Flywire, why did you replace the numbered-list-item tags (<tt>#</tt>) in [[Custom_Reports]] with hard-coded numbers? Markdown provides those so that renumbering is automatic if someone adds or inserts a new list item. [[User:Jralls|John Ralls]] ([[User talk:Jralls|talk]]) 00:39, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

:Instead of talking riddles let's get to the point. I've made lots of changes so I didn't initially know what you were referring to. You mentioned markdown, https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list uses "1." for a numbered list. When I chanced across another wiki page using "#" I understood your comment. Even with a "#" the third point is not numbered (which I suspect you know). I can't see any worthwhile changes but I'm receptive to better ideas.
