Does Widespread Panic use a triggered ability that puts a card on top after whichever card caused the shuffle has resolved or is it a replacement effect that becomes part of shuffling (i.e. shuffle library, put a card on top, then continue with whichever card caused the shuffle). I'm assuming it's the former, looking for clarification though.
Widespread Panic reads, "Whenever a spell or ability causes its controller to shuffle his or her library, [...]." It's a triggered ability, not a replacement effect.
Quote from Comp. rules »
112.3c Triggered abilities have a trigger condition and an effect. They are written as "[Trigger condition], [effect]," and include (and usually begin with) the word "when," "whenever," or "at." Whenever the trigger event occurs, the ability is put on the stack the next time a player would receive priority and stays there until it's countered, it resolves, or it otherwise leaves the stack. See rule 603, "Handling Triggered Abilities."
614.1a Effects that use the word "instead" are replacement effects. Most replacement effects use the word "instead" to indicate what events will be replaced with other events.
614.1b Effects that use the word "skip" are replacement effects. These replacement effects use the word "skip" to indicate what events, steps, phases, or turns will be replaced with nothing.
614.1c Effects that read "[This permanent] enters the battlefield with . . . ," "As [this permanent] enters the battlefield . . . ," or "[This permanent] enters the battlefield as . . . " are replacement effects.
614.1d Continuous effects that read "[This permanent] enters the battlefield . . ." or "[Objects] enter the battlefield . . ." are replacement effects.
614.1e Effects that read "As [this permanent] is turned face up . . . ," are replacement effects.
