Hi,

I have a numbered list and have to include images in each step. So I want to continure the numbering in the list. How can i do this?

If they're in a sequence, you can use the # sign at the beginning of each paragraph.

  1. Item
  2. Item 2

There is no direct support for this with wikisyntax, but it can be done using basic html. There are some examples listed on the English Wikipedia on how to do it.

This SO question has the answer of using "<li value="42"></li>" on the first item after the break in the list, after the # to start the line and around the desired markup to display on that line. It works for me at whatever version of MW that Wikidata is currently using.
