Character list

https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Pickman%27s_Model&diff=prev&oldid=1253532112

Two different formattings have been proposed for this bullet list: one in which character names are bolded, the other in which they are not. Bolded words make, in my opinion, for a better readability of the list, while non-bolded names, I'm informed, follow standard practice. I haven't found mention of this detail in the help pages; not sure whether this is because it's not there or because I failed to find it.

Bulleted lists are as follows:

Item 1: description 1
Item 2: description 2
...

Bolded lists are:

Item 1: description 1

Item 2: description 2

...

Bolded, bulleted lists are:

Item 1: description 1
Item 2: description 2
...

I've also checked on a few other pages and there appears to be quite some variability on how lists are handled: some are unbolded bullet lists, other ones are bolded bullet lists, still other ones are bolded lists, but bullet-less.

I would like to ask the following:

What would be the best way to format lists - bullet lists, bolded-definition lists, bolded and bulleted lists?
Shouldn't there be something about it in the guidelines/help pages?
