Even after setting $wgUseTidy = true,  many of my pages show an error
"Expression error: Missing operand for >" at the bottom in the
References section.
It looks like an error message produced by the ParserFunctions
package.  I've never seen this on en.wikipedia.org so I wonder if some
customization or other cleanup has been done.

I'm running MediaWiki 1.15.1 and the versions of Cite and
ParserFunctions that correspond to 1.15.x.
Is this something easily fixable?

Thanks,
Eric
