Parameter | Description | Type | Status |
List content | 1 | If supplied, the list, as a normal bulleted list. (Every line should start with an asterisk. No blank lines between lines.) See template page for how this works otherwise. | Content | suggested |
CSS classes | class | Adds a CSS class to the containing div. - Default
- The class "plainlist" is always applied.
| String | optional |
Custom CSS | style | Adds CSS style options. Complex styles should not be used in articles (per WP:Deviations) but may be acceptable on user, project, and talk pages. - Example
- border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow
| String | optional |
Indent level | indent | Indents the list by a number of standard indents (one indent being 1.6em), particularly handy for inclusion in an indented discussion thread. - Example

| Number | optional |
Controlling line-breaking
Template {{nbsp}}
may be used with {{wbr}}
and {{nowrap}}
to control line-breaking in bulletless lists, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes for details.
Technical details
{{Plainlist}} works by constructing a div with the CSS class "plainlist" which has the following style (see MediaWiki:Common.css):
.plainlist ul {
line-height: inherit;
list-style: none none;
margin: 0;
}
.plainlist ul li {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
