Are you using $wgUseTidy? It is an HTML cleanup

enabled on WMF projects. Since it it is there, template creators often
miss closing spans and other things, or leave in extra close tags, and
never notice because the tidy fixes them. Would not surprise me a bit
if dozens of en.wp templates have such errors; I find them
occasionally on en.wikt.
What about turning wgUseTidy off for some time? Maybe some night hours... so
that our template magicians are forced to clean up the templates and the
other crap which resides deep buried into the wikitext.
It is not a 3rd user's responsibility to install extra software just to be
able to render our content... or at least, it shouldn't be. We should not
artificially make it difficult to get our content forked or duplicated or
elsewhile re-used.
