Special:ExpandTemplates outputs different html than any page on preview/save as well as in Result & Preview sections. Examples: code: <div class="listtest"> * foo *bar * baz *qux * lorem *ipsum </div> on Special:ExpandTemplates / Preview: <div class="listtest"> <ul><li> foo </li><li>bar </li><li> baz </li><li>qux </li><li> lorem </li><li>ipsum </li></ul> </div> on page preview: <div class="listtest"> <ul> <li>foo</li> <li>bar</li> <li>baz</li> <li>qux</li> <li>lorem</li> <li>ipsum</li> </ul> </div> (mind the whitespaces which are important for some CSS constructions as well as for some JS) code: <table> <tr> <th>Header</th> </tr> <tr> <td>foo bar baz qux</td> </tr> </table> on Special:ExpandTemplates / Preview: <table> <tr> <th>Header</th> </tr> <tr> <td>foo bar baz qux</td> </tr> </table> on Special:ExpandTemplates / Result: <table> <tr> <th>Header</th> </tr> <tr> <td>foo <p>bar baz </p> qux</td> </tr> </table> on page preview: <table> <tr> <th>Header</th> </tr> <tr> <td>foo <p>bar baz</p> qux</td> </tr> </table> (mind the <p> tag)
Still reproducible on English Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ExpandTemplates?input=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22listtest%22%3E%0A*+foo%0A*bar%0A*+baz%0A*qux%0A*+lorem%0A*ipsum%0A%3C%2Fdiv%3E and also at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ExpandTemplates?input=<table>%0A<tr>%0A<th>Header<%2Fth>%0A<%2Ftr>%0A<tr>%0A<td>foo%0Abar%0Abaz%0Aqux<%2Ftd>%0A<%2Ftr>%0A<%2Ftable> (except by the fact that now we have <tbody> tags aroud the <table> content) Since [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] is a special page, this may be related to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39617

Looks to me like the HTML preview in ExpandTemplates is not enabling Tidy (though it is enabled on the preprocessor, where it probably has no effect).
special page was moved to core
