	Any category group (e.g. Amphibians/Birds/etc.) NOT explicitly outlined here 
	in conf{} will follow the 'Default' tree for that group when the template is 
	used on that cateogry.
	
	The default-style category tree is:
		year -> century -> formal
		year -> Animals:year -> Animals:century
	Decadal categories are deprecated (see documentation).
	
	To create a new tree, only if necessarily different from the default, copy 
	an existing tree and paste it in an appropriate spot in the table, following
	the same general table format, and updating any group-specific values.
	
	%year% and %century% are variables available for use in the description text,
	and are evaluated based on the current category.
