This change is incorrect. The star is overtyped on the bullet, at least in Firefox 3, and I'm pretty sure that's what the standard requires in this case (plus who knows what relying on display: list-item will do for compatibility; I doubt it works with IE6).

A better change, if this message is to be kept altogether (see my last post to the list), is to break this into two messages, saying "Normal special pages." and "Restricted special pages.", and hard-code the HTML (or put the HTML in its own message and use $1 and $2 for the text). It's not a good idea to mix linguistic and non-linguistic content in messages, because it makes it impossible to change the non-linguistic content easily.
