Numbered List doesn't work with table/content droplet

Discussion/Misc
1

Hi all,
I tried to create a numbered list. This works without problems. But now I want to insert a table or a content droplet (Info message). I was very surprised that this breaks the numbered list. Is there any possibility to fix this? This is a massive disadvantage in using the editor.

Kind regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
for MediaWiki core interpreting the wikitext and for VisualEditor (also a community extension) generating edit previews, elements inside list are not very well supported. Still, there is a workaround: you can use HTML for the layer of numbered lists, then use rich features for embedded elements. For example, you can paste the following piece into the page source editor:

<ol>
<li> A1
<ol>
<li> {{Textbox|boxtype=tip|header=|text=|icon=yes}}
<li> B2
{|class=wikitable
! style="" | Header
|-
| style="" | Data
|}
</ol>
<li>A2
</ol>

the numbering would be preserved then. In this case I took reference of discussion in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42874866/place-a-table-in-an-ordered-list-in-mediawiki , which might help as well = )
