Currently the watchlists and recent changes are formatted as lines of text with <br/> after them, but they should be coded as an unordered list.
I see <li> tags.

I see <li> tags on the watchlist and standard recentchanges, but not enhanced recentchanges.

I don't know what enhanced recentchanges is, but I seem to have it turned on in my preferences. I see br tags instead of li tags in the watchlist, too, though: <a href="/wiki/Special:Blockip/151.213.82.228" title="Special:Blockip/151.213.82.228">block</a>)<br> <img src="/skins-1.5/common/images/Arr_.png" alt=" " height="12" width="12"><tt> <span class="minor">m</span> 1

And Voice of All noted that he didn't see the issue. Clearly there was some inconsistency there that should be investigated, not dismissed (by either of you, correct). > Hmmm..

"Enhanced recent changes" turns it on for your watchlist too. Okay, now we know where the issue is.

The preferences need to be consolidated and it needs to be clarified that change list preferences apply to all change list pages, i.e. recent changes, related recent changes and watchlists, among others.
In my rev_deleted branch (I'll merge sometime), they use tables instead of <br/> tags. I'll maybe look into <li> tags again, but that got messy last time I tried.
Tables would perhaps be best. The data is, after all, in tabular form, with distinct columns in each row. It should perhaps be set up to display the same as an unordered list, like the normal watchlist at present, in browsers that support that (enhanced and non-enhanced should look identical except for the enhanced elements, surely).
Adding this as a dependency of bug 7885, as the existing formatting leads to weird behavior with some RTL text.
Converted to using tables now instead.
