Talk:Snippets/Horizontal lists

Empty items
User:Edokter, something changed with hlists in the old days the code gave instead of Is there way of bringing the old functionality back? It affects a lot of pages on Commons. --Jarekt (talk) 18:54, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Somebody stuck in 2003 recently figured the best way to eliminate empty LI tags was to slap a class on it and the set the display: to none like so...

... which, of course, is superseded by hList's definitions changing LI tags to display: inline and the reason we are getting the "extra dots". What that somebody needs is a divorce from parser/Parsoid love and go with adding the current CSS3 pseudo-tag meant for this kind of stuff instead.
 * I'm sure adding the above to your local .css will rectify the HList issue (and probably a few other list-item related problems too; unless your still using IE8 or lower that is). How to go about getting this across to the stuck-in-their-own-wiki-mentality people is another matter. -- George Orwell III (talk) 00:17, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I've added a fix --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 11:22, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The problem seems to be fixed on Commons now. Thank you both for looking into it. The problem is related to T49673. Hopefully other people with "stuck-in-their-own-wiki-mentality" will look here for the solutions, the way we did. --Jarekt (talk) 12:56, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Meh... personally I think it is better to fix the HTML of the pages instead of hiding their problem under the carpet... Keeping them visible would help with that.
 * Anyway, the code added to this page is redundant with the one added to MediaWiki itself. Helder 16:11, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
