In the PDF export of the "Notes to Moore", where the strings "(1)" and "(2)" appear at the beginning of a line, they and the following paragraphs are interpreted as ordered list items.
I do not think the texts on the LWP's website contain any ordered or unordered lists. At any rate, the parser should probably only format text as an ordered or unordered list when the relevant MediaWiki syntax is found (# or * at the beginning of a line, respectively).
