MediaWiki handles things like <pre> by /stripping/ them from the input before parsing, and inserting them back later on. The strange strings you see are markers that MediaWiki creates to remember where to re-insert each of the stripped chunks. Seeing these markers indicates that something went wrong during parsing, or that the text you see is not MediaWiki's final output of the parser but something in between. One case where this happens is when you use text with <pre> or <nowiki> in the input of SMW properties: SMW is invoked /during/ parsing, and hence gets the UNIQ... markers as input instead of the original text. So it will wrongly store them as the values in this case (there is a bug on this). I think there was also another case where this could happen in combination with SMW and some version of MediaWiki, but I thought that this had been fixed in recent versions of MW (there was a bug but I do not find it right now). Normal template inclusion should hardly lead to this kind of problem if the MW version you are using is a stable release. Debugging steps that you can try: (1) Touch LocalSettings.php (null edit, i.e. save without changes) to purge the caches, so that all pages will be reparsed. Check if the problem goes away (permanently, not just on the first page load). (2) De-activate SMW and its extensions and check (again loading the page more than once) if the problem is gone. If (1) fails and (2) works, then we need to consider this an SMW-related problem. Otherwise, it should be discussed on the MW list (or filed as a bug for MW).
