It look great, but when I tried it on
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Actuarial_science as an example, I
get the top towo boxes blank and all of the text in the box that says End
templates and magic words.

> It is also said that the template hell and other things scare away
> newbies, or lead to their accidental breaking of pages.
