			:In any case, Brant was very open and helpful about the whole thing, and I'm certain he won't mind if you utilize these images on the wiki too, so the offer stands, feel free! --[[User:MattyDienhoff\|MattyDienhoff]] ([[User talk:MattyDienhoff\|talk]]) 00:44, 12 June 2014 (EDT)

			:Technically yes, since going from level one to two is the logical progression, I'm just trying it this way for appearance reasons. Due to the sheer number of entries, I think it looks better without all the extra dividing lines that were present when I used level two headings. The table of contents still works as intended, is there another reason it shouldn't be done this way?
