P.S. Can you move the page abstract—together with the categories from the bottom of the page—before the first

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

Yes. Care to share? It didn't support using "1." for each numbered item.

Nor does your edit. John Ralls (talk) 03:57, 22 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.

While Gruber (of Daring Fireball) invented markdown, it's become a generic term for plain text markup that things like wikis can parse to turn into html. There are several flavors now, MediaWiki's is the one to use here. I strongly encourage you to learn it before making any more edits. You haven't made very many edits, but to jog your memory this is the one I'm complaining about. John Ralls (talk) 04:35, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
