Notes:

  1. Whenever possible, always use a text marker to improve accessibility in articles. See Wikipedia:Colours for more information.
  2. Do not use a black shaded colorbox with text markers as the text will not be visible.
  3. The HTML coding &amp#42; must be used to create the asterisk as Wikipedia will treat the a typed asterisk as an indented bullet point
