This template wraps up to 10 nonempty strings into an (un)ordered list. If only one string is not empty, it is returned as-is.

This is useful if the strings are yet unknown and only need to be wrapped if there are more than one not empty.

Ten numbered parameters, no parameter name, case sensitive, all default to not displayed.

numeric: whether to render a numeric list instead (defaults to dics bullets, any value will render numeric bullets)

{{list|numeric=yes
 |string one
 |string two
 |string three
 |...
 |string ten
}}

When specifying only five strings:

{{list
 |Ape
 |Bear
 |Chihuahua
 |Donkey
 |Eel
}}

If only one string is specified:

{{list|only one string this time}}

only one string this time

If the numeric parameter is specified with a nonempty value (it is ignored when only one list item is specified):

{{list|numeric=yes|only one string this time also}}
{{list|numeric=yes
  |string one
  |and another}}

only one string this time also

If all strings are empty or no string is specified, all are effectively omitted resulting in no display at all.
