[edit] List of foo: A

This seems to be the most commonly used format:

I prefer List of foo: A as well. I doubt that this will need to come down to a poll, but with little discussion as of yet one can't tell. -Sean Curtin 21:22, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
If this is the most popular, then I'd say the consensus has already formed on this convention. Steve block talk 08:08, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spanning Lists

While we're at it, we may as well discuss how to do it if the list spans categories:

  • List of foo: A-B
  • List of foo: A - B
  • List of foo: A to B
I would vote for the first. Chuck 15:04, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
I will be using the first option on New Hampshire Historical Markers Jokermage "Timor Mentum Occidit" 07:59, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Support the first. Rich Farmbrough 20:55 25 February 2006 (UTC).
Support first --Donar Reiskoffer 08:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

I was also thinking about a navigational template that would group like the buttons of a telephone:

  • List of foo: A-B-C
  • ...
  • List of foo: W-X-Y-Z

would work much better than the other proposed choices. So count me in for the first. --Francis Schonken 08:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
