Wiki Stuff

Template:L designed to replace the old one. Though it was a masterpiece of wiki-magic, it wasn't particularly in-depth, was a little vague, had a couple of inaccurate points, and kept breaking whenever anything changed. Thus, the logical solution is to replace it with a more comprehensive flowchart in the form of an image. Sadly, it's a little too literal, a little too... Blunt. It comes across as somewhat disorienting and menacing. It's a lot of tiny little things to look at, in order to fully interpret the whole... It reads like a schematic diagram of some ornate machine. If you have any ideas on how to make it appear friendlier, or read easier, please say something! I'd love to discuss it with you!

And a friendlier version for those of you who prefer to not be intimidated by blank white space.
