Template talk:derived terms

So...
Why are these templates broken, either running shorter lists to the left margin without adding a bullet and inexplicably adding a period or screwing up completely if a bullet is added ahead of the template?

It should be able to set up shorter lists without completely misformatting them, making it easier to expand entries into a longer list later. — LlywelynII  13:52, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Also
This and related templates should name the number of items that produce the separate formatting styles. — LlywelynII  13:53, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
