What matters is consistency. When I reply to someone who uses :, I use ::. When
someone uses *, I use **. When someone posted before me using : and I use : as
well, the signature should make clear that the posts are different; reverting
this change will not fix that.

> ...and not how other hundreds of wikis use the syntax...

You don't know that. So far, you are the only one complaining. If there *were*
hundreds of wikis using that syntax, there would hve been a ot more complaints
about now. The Italian wikis uses teh wrong format. Instead of:

* Item
: Subitem

It should use:

; Item
: Subitem

Which is the proper syntax for a definition list. I am positive we are not
going to revert this change so some people can continue to use semantically and
syntaxwise incorrect list formatting.
