title: Any better way to create MediaWiki numbered lists?
body: <p>When using MediaWiki's markup language, the only thing that I hate is creating numbered lists. The only way I know to create a list is to do something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#Item1
  #Item2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, if I want to add spaces or some other text between those lines, the numbering gets lost. For example, the following will create text that has two number one items:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#Item1
  Somestuff
  #Item2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way around this, or should I just use bullet points instead? I noticed just now that the stackoverflow system does not allow numbering like this, you have to do it all manually.</p>
