Can these meaningless changes be reverted? They do anything but harm and useless noise, imho.
This kind of formatting is inconsistent with the rest of the wiki and is very hard to be changed according to my language rules for this kind of texts.
An introduction to KDE/uk still shows my layout. What is wrong with it?
Yes it is. After 5 or more tries to do this. It is hard to change this beautiful layout. Can you stop changing the layouts as you like? Thanks.
I am sorry if these questions seem silly—I am just trying hard to understand what you mean.
You may found these answers silly. Sorry, I am just trying hard to explain my thoughts about "those better formatting". 
But an itemization is semantically better than a list (because it reflects the author’s intention better), and we cannot convert all similar lists to itemizations in one step, can we? Note that the default style sheet can be changed to make itemizations look exactly like they looked before, if that is what you are after.
OK. But I'd rather say do it by yourself and do not do what "author intended to do or say". I also do not understand the changes that make things look "exactly like they looked before".
Moreover, please avoid this formatting in documentation (it is not clear for me how this can be transformed into docbook).
Yurchor, are you saying that we should avoid using ";" for formatting all together or are you simply saying don't change formatting unless it is actually broken? If the first is the case we need to add something about that on the Toolbox page. We do have a few pages, that use ";" formatting. Should we change those as we find them?
";" is good for anything but docs, imho. But I cannot understand when things that are not broken in any kind are changed just because someone likes something to be constantly changed. There are many not-so-popular pages (even without translations) to experiment with them.
The syntax
is both visually and formally broken. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that there is some anonymous character fuming and charging at each em-dash inserted into the text.
And it should be easier, not harder, to transform itemizations to DocBook, because they have more internal structure.
I was not experimenting, the format for marking up itemizations is well known.
Can you give some IRS on the following statements?
It would be also good if you promise to chack every page for using "the format for marking up itemizations".
Thanks in advance.
It is visually broken because the hyphen should be used to join words, not to separate clauses.
It is formally broken because it fixes a rendering of the formal structure instead of entering the structure itself.
To transform a definition in the wiki, render the text to XHTML as if for the client and then use an XML transformation to convert it to DocBook. The transformation will deal with dt and dd, not with ; and :. Assuming that you do not expect me to write the whole thing from scratch, just show me what you already have and I shall add the missing part.
