It seems that in new installed mediawikis, some > and < are translated in > and < One example is the clear template with <div style="clear:both;" /> but there is also others with html tables and so on.
<div> is a block element; MediaWiki currently requires that you pass them as start *and* end tags, like so: <div style="clear:both;"></div>
