Update to template

I have updated the template to match Spider taxonomy#Table of families.

• Families more recently recognized have been added.
• Families no longer recognized have been removed.
• More families now have 1,000+ species and so are in bold.
• No recent reliable source gives superfamily placements; phylogenetic studies have led to new families and families being shown to be unrelated that were formerly thought to be close, so the old superfamilies are out-of-date and have been removed. Family order is alphabetic within the top level clades.

The families and numbers of species >1,000 are based on the World Spider Catalog version 16.5;[1] placement in clades is based on Coddington (2005).[2] Peter coxhead (talk) 17:39, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
