A  tag is a "paragraph" tag in HTML. Basically, the extra line break told MediaWiki (the software running Fandom) to add a paragraph. Paragraphs automatically add in a top and bottom margin as to separate itself from the paragraph before and/or the next (or the element directly above or below the paragraph). IE: if I use the code Paragraph 1  Paragraph 2  even though they are on the same line, MediaWiki converts that into this:

Paragraph 1 Paragraph 2

That extra "padding" disrupts the flow of those numbers being on the same "line" as the first number had that padding and the second number did not.
