"We're not wikipedia"

And on that note, this template is not used in the same way as wikipedia and does not need to meet the same requirements. So, i've rewritten it to meet WoWWiki's needs here, comments and abuse plx.

Main changes:

• Converted to a <div/> based design and in the process fixed poor styling pratices (if i see another border/padding/margin definition on a percentage width container i'll kill someone).
• Changed to 95% width as after reading the background of this template on wikipedia, the reasoning for the width was to create an illusion of fixing a problem that we will never have (based on existing usage guidelines).
• Removal of orange colour in the transition of changing types instead of colours as it's under used and had no clear usage (seriously though, the current abuse and confusion over what colour to use is creating some nasty and inconsistant templates *glares at Kirkburn*).
