Are you certain your changes are a good idea? I don't think I agree with them. A numbered list is for, well, a numbered list. Chess moves aren't a numbered list. I get that it looks similar, but it's hiding what's "really" going on. It's not the first item on a list, but rather "move 1" where the "1" is a first-class part of the text. Most notably, if a move list starts beyond move 1, then this entirely breaks. I don't think this is a good idea. Are you willing to slow down and discuss this? If you really feel strongly about it, maybe a matter for discussion at WT:CHESS. SnowFire (talk) 03:06, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Hmm. I do think you've hit on something interesting, because it looks like we don't have any current guidelines. I think this issue is larger than either of us, so I opened a thread at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chess#Style_to_display_chess_moves to make my case - feel free to chime in there to make the case for the numbered list style, if you want.
On your second comment, I just don't see what the problem is with spacing after the number. That seems just correct - I don't think it means that we should switch to a numbered list, which is really more intended for cases where an order is desired, but the number isn't a core "part" of the list entry. e.g. an instruction list on how to change a car tire might use a numbered list where "step 2: get the jack from the trunk" might be important for order, but the number "2" isn't really closely associated with the action.
