Line 35:
The semicolon separates a series, the [[ellipsis]] indicates an omission. I am going to make one more stab at this, then I have other things to do. ---'''''— [[User:Gadget850|<span style="color:gray">Gadget850 (Ed)</span>]]<span style="color:darkblue"> '''''</span><sup>[[User talk:Gadget850|''talk'']]</sup> 12:21, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
:The semicolon doesn't separate a series. It separates elements in a series. Everything within a set of semicolons is an alias of the same thing. In the above, authorlink2 and author2-link are aliases, which is why they are not separated by semicolons. The semicolon sets off the next group of aliases. The ellipses does represent an omission. The sequence [2] throuh [8] is omitted for brevity.[[User:Coastside|Coastside]] ([[User talk:Coastside|talk]]) 21:09, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
