PiRSquared17 made [http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Quiddity&workflow=0506915cf3d0b62ef835fa163e68c4ac&action=view#flow-post-05070ea803290e132562fa163e68c4ac this demonstration], of how we don't check for unclosed elements in transcluded content: [http://i.imgur.com/3cjXtEQ.png screenshot] He created the page [http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Stub&action=history Template:Stub] with just the contents "Test.<small>" Certain elements under his post, on my board, are getting affected by the <small> tag, including the main site navigation sidebar and personal toolbar. I've left it all intact, for checking. :)
The WMF core features team tracks this bug on Mingle card https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/flow/cards/455, but people from the community are welcome to contribute here and in Gerrit.
This was a bug within parsoid, it was utilizing <small/> to close the tag, which is invalid html. It now outputs <small></small>
