All the sudden, the infobox of the Dragon Annual issues is showing this error where the title should be.

Expression error: Unrecognised word "annual".

And I just checked, the Best Of issues are showing the same error:

Expression error: Unrecognised word "best".

You changed the infobox from {{Book}} to {{Dragon magazine}}, which won't work correctly. That's because the issue parameter is required to be an integer so it can be used to determine the publisher. See if you can make the Book template work, but if it doesn't provide you with the fields you'd like to have, let me know what you want and I can either modify the Dragon magazine template, or create a new one for anthologies.

Ok, that's odd because it worked fine before. I switched it to the Book template here http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Magazine_Annual_1996 and it works, but it's missing some Dragon Mag parameters, like game edition and volume

{{Book}} should probably have a game edition field anyway.

I added Volume and Game Edtition to the Book template, but Game Edition is showing NAN instead of 2nd (testing on Dragon Magazine Annual 1996), i copied from the Dragon mag template so not sure why it's not working.

I'm not sure why it's not working, but I don't think it should use {{Nth}} anyhow, because of v.3.5. v.3.5 is not ever called 3.5^th edition.

Now it checks for 3.5 before applying Nth.

I fixed the infoboxes on all the Annual and Best Of pages, but now it seems that lovely auto-gen tables on Best of the Dragon and Dragon annual as well as on the main Dragon mag page are broken. :(
