Line breaks:
Tiki:
When you make a line break, you get a line break. It's that simple.
No need to make double line breaks or use the <br /> tag.
MediaWiki:
Line break handling in MediaWiki is quite elaborate - see Wikpedia - Line Break Handling
It usually requires extra line breaks and/or the <br /> tag.

What happended to the templates?
They are not really needed, as it's much faster and more flexible to use the DIV and BOX tags.
You can use styles - take a look at Wiki Styles.
