Bulleted list error?
The documentation states that A bulleted list with lines beginning '*' can be given.
However, unless I use <br> after the equal sign, it renders like this:
 | This section needs expansion with: * Bullet
|
{{Expand section|1=
* Bullet
* Points
|date=July 2025}}

- @Kilvin the Futz-y Enterovirus: This is not an issue specific to Template:Expand section, but occurs with any template that accepts parameters. In general, a parameter value should never begin with a list; the newline before the first asterisk is lost as part of the whitespace trimming. The workaround is to add anything that isn't counted as either the start of a list, or as whitespace.
- Anyway, I don't think that
A bulleted list with lines beginning '*' can be given.
is intended to be read as if a list may be the entire content of the parameter, but that a list may be part of the parameter's value. The best method is to add some introductory text before the list, such asIf you really feel that no introductory phrase is desirable, the two next-best methods are:{{Expand section|1=These areas are deficient: * Bullet * Points |date=July 2025}}
and{{Expand section|1=  * Bullet * Points |date=July 2025}}
both of which display nothing, but ensure that the newline isn't lost. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:48, 28 July 2025 (UTC){{Expand section|1=<nowiki /> * Bullet * Points |date=July 2025}}

Just a heads up that this template, thanks to Newcomer Tasks including it, is frequently removed with LLM edits of dubious quality (thanks to Newcomer Tasks gamifying edit quantity). Gnomingstuff (talk) 02:11, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
