For some topics, I would suggest that there shouldn't be a need for a list
within the main article (except perhaps as summary), or a list article.
Instead the content should be arranged as sections and paragraphs, e.g.
going through things chronologically or such. In other words, an
encyclopaedia article rather than a trivia look-up chart.
