Quick notes on why there are absolute links here :-)

Wiki's are really, really, bad at doing the more useful UI navigation  
things with images. The wiki specifically wants, and goes out of it's  
way, to make all images to go to their copyright/upload pages. If you  
want to make useful navigation images, well, you're kind'a just  
screwed to be honest (and I wasted the best part of a day looking).  
There are some template tricks, some css hacks (both of which require  
absolute addressing of image and link, yuch); a cleaner trick for if  
you have the image map wiki extension (we don't have that), and some  
tentative suggestions in the mediawiki docs that a future version  
(mediawiki 1.14) has a better solution for making navigation images.
