Are you using the last version? Wikimedia doesn't use CVS any more, but SVN at http://svn.wikimedia.org/ extensions should be at http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/
This may also be due to the mixing of wiki-tables and html-tables syntax in the template. Brion recently changed the table behaviour, but as it shows well on wikipedia (running from SVN), it may be not related....

Hi,
I have created a local MediaWiki installation (from SVN), and retrieved the Wikipedia extensions (from CVS) as I could gleam from the Special:Version page on Wikipedia, and imported an XML dump using following command:
bzip2 -d enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 cat enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml | php5 maintenance/importDump.php
After importing, most of the pages render correctly, however some templates which use ParserFunctions, are rendering parts of the templates as escaped HTML.
The page George_H._W._Bush (in my copy of the data), is using a Template:Infobox_President, with code as follows:
Code at: http://pastebin.com/722852
The rendering has turned <tr> and <td> to <tr> and <td> in certain cases:
Code at http://pastebin.com/722855 (please note the < and > which is highlighted in pink)
Does anybody know what could possibly be causing this problem?
Thanks Richard Wooding
