A scrolling list is a series of items contained in a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows the text to be moved up, down, or across a display screen by moving a scrollbar, with new text appearing on the screen as old text disappears. Although MOS:SCROLL disfavors scrolling lists in article space because article content should be accessible on a variety of devices whereas a scrolling list hides some text, a scrolling list may be used in project namespace, such as at AfD, and other Wikipedia namespaces. For example, long lists posted at WP:AfD may be revised to be a scrolling list where it would make the AfD discussion easier to read. Tall images, wide templates, and category content tables also may be scrolled.
