Thread:Project:Support desk/How to create nested definition lists?

I thought the following code


 * term 1
 * description of term 1


 * term 2
 * term 2-1
 * description of term 2-1
 * term 2-2
 * description of term 2-2


 * term 3
 * description of term 3

would yield the following markups

 term 1 description of term 1 term 2   term 2-1 description of term 2-1 term 2-2 description of term 2-2</dd> </dl> </dd> term 3</dt> description of term 31</dd> </dl>

But what I actually get on a fresh install of the lastest (1.18.2) MediaWiki is:

<dl> term 1</dt> description of term 1</dd> term 2 <dl> term 2-1</dt> description of term 2-1</dd> term 2-2</dt> description of term 2-2</dd> </dl> </dd> </dl> <dl> term 3</dt> description of term 3</dd> </dl>

I've tested the code on this site and it seems working here:


 * term 1
 * description of term 1


 * term 2
 * term 2-1
 * description of term 2-1
 * term 2-2
 * description of term 2-2


 * term 3
 * description of term 3

What changes are needed to my install?

Edit: OK. It's not working here. I've inspected the code produced above, and although it's better than the one on my site, the list is still broken. Can't I create nested definition lists with MediaWiki?
