WARNING: This Template is Buggy
I'm not sure whether the problem is occurring with Hgames Wiki's installed version of MediaWiki, but this template is exhibiting very odd behavior. The intended use of the {{plainlist}} template is to nest an unordered list (<ul>) or an ordered list (<ol>) inside of it. However, if you apply any CSS style attributes to any of the elements of the list, the entire list is not getting rendered by the MediaWiki engine!
As a result, I have had to forgo calling this template from the {{unbulleted list}} template, and instead hard code the <div class="plainlist"> tag directly into the {{unbulleted list}} template. Of course, it's possible that if we were able to use <templatestyles>, things would work, because all of the styles on the unordered list in {{unbulleted list}} should have been getting specified in "Plainlist/styles.css" anyway, and is only directly being used inside a style attribute on the <ul> element because <templatestyles> doesn't work. Also, things might be working better if Lua-based modules could be used on Hgames Wiki, because the entire reason why the {{unbulleted list}} template looks the way that it does is because we can't use a Lua module like Wikipedia does.
