[edit] Format, list of species of mole salamander

Great article. I just wrote a short article for Marbled Salamander and noted how this one has been expanded so expertly. A couple of minor format issues, and please correct me if I'm wrong:

• I was seeing a spurious asterisk before your bulleted lists of species and subspecies. I think this was due to starting a top-level bullet list with two asterisks. I corrected this, I think. I believe I maintained the nested lists correctly, those showing subspecies and hybrids.
• I'm not sure what the practice is here, but I feel the species list should only have Wiki links where an article exists. Otherwise, it is too frustrating to go clicking on links and get the "Create Article" dialog. Most people are not going to want to do that.

Again, a great article. I learned a lot reading it. Thanks very much. --Cotinis 13:01, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Cotinis! - Especially for reformatting the list. I am in the process of making species articles for all of them (yesterday I made Puerto Hondo Stream Salamander and Blunt-Headed Salamander), so it should be all blue links soon. LaurenCole 16:17, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, duh!, I've never noticed the link colors were different for pages that exist and pages that do not. I'm not colorblind, just clueless.
