Extra Details: Even though Oy to the World (currently tagged as Special no. 2) is a special episode in the fact it animated, it still belongs to Season 3.
According to the Contribution Bible:
Special episodes are any episodes that did not originally air as part of a regular, usually numbered season. Sometimes a network will call an episode a "special" episode—as an example, "in this special holiday themed episode"—but still assign it a season and episode number; in those cases, it should not be added to the special season here but, instead, to the season assigned to it by the network.
"Oy to the World" was aired on December 18, 1995 as episode 14 of season 3, right after the episode 13 "An Offer She Can't Refuse" which was aired on December 11, 1995, and followed by episode 15 "Fashion Show" on January 8, 1996 after 2 week Christmas airing break. So I believe it should be moved to Season 3 as episode 14.

I also want to amend that Season 3's DVD does in fact contain "Oy to the World" as noted from this currently out of stock listing at BestBuy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/the-nanny-the-complete-third-season-3-discs-dvd/9214389.p?skuId=9214389 (Archived link)
The description for the listing (emphasis mine):

We are going as per the original broadcast, not as per the current DVD.
And, at that time, this episode was advertised as a special episode, as it was indicated by @banana_girl in this previous content report.

That's why I listed in the original report that it was aired as a special episode at the regular time like any other episode.

And this explain why it should be listed as a special episode.

But according to the Contribution Bible:
It even calls out this particular example of "Special holiday themed episode" as a common one

Do you have a proof that it was originally broadcasted as a regular numbered episode? The fact that it was broadcasted at the regular time isn't a proof.
Without this proof, we can't change anything.
