Notes

The #titleparts section of the ParserFunctions page explains that Magic Words like {{PAGENAME}} (and others) return strings as needlessly HTML-encoded, this caused DPL3 to not return results when page names contain ' and other special characters.

Use of {{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}}} HTML-decodes converting it to plain text. This eliminated the need for the former "previous" and "next" overrides and reduced maintenance burden; manual overrides are not updated when a Dragon page is created whose title alphabetically falls between the override source and the new page, causing unnecessary maintenance.

Creates the "next" dragon text, image, and button for use in {DragonSwitch} template. Used by the {DragonBox} template to create automatic navigation between Dragons.
