Pure wikitext doesn't support list-styles, that's why TK-999 recommended using html tags. The wikitext "* test" is equivalent to test. In fact, most users don't even know how to add list-styles, so that is already complex.

A simpler alternative is to use a template to transparently convert those styles into relevant html possibly using lua or parser functions, see   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:List for an example.
