(to be made shorter) Please remember, that long lists are a problem for translators. With single level bulleted lists, place each bullet in a section of its own, i.e. make a blank line between bullets. With two levels of bullets the subitems must be kept in the same section as their top level bullet; if you have to use subbullets, please keep the sublists short! With enumerations involved, you must keep everything in one unit. Please try to avoid enumerations, and if you find that you must use them try to keep them short. |

and </nowiki>
between the text that should remain unformatted.

) is the same as the icon name that icon themes use.
If the icon does not exist, it has to be uploaded to the wiki:
