Flexbox is basically a program for the layout of pages in the Wiki. It centers and spaces items on a page without percentages, positioning, or tables. Here are a few examples of its capabilities for formatting pages in the Wiki.

two items centered side by side of unequaled width
Here is an example of what would be a major problem in trying to position an image that is a fixed width (as is the case will all images in the Wiki) next to a flexible box of text. Then couple this with trying to place them side by side and center the both of them in the middle of the page. This would be a very difficult to accomplish with positioning or with tables, but is very easy with Flexbox.
