I want to suggest rephrasing the note.

The current phrasing is somewhat misleading and limits its use:
 * Misleading: You can also map travel to Mission Locations (and some people refer to Cities, etc.)
 * Limited: it would be helpful to use the same note for non-village locations, e.g. Giant's Basin, Devourer Cave, etc.

[Current note phrasing]
 *  Note: This location is neither a town nor an outpost, so it is not labeled on the map and you cannot map travel there. You have to walk there every time you want to pay a visit. Make sure you've completed all your business before you leave.

[Suggested note phrasing]
 *  Note: You cannot map travel to this location, it is a part of a larger Explorable area, and you have to walk here from a nearby portal whenever you visit. Be sure to complete all your business before you leave.

This would require actually having a Point of Interest page, which also seems like a good idea.

 * I revised a little grammar bit in the new version, but other than that it seems fine to me. I'm not so sure we need a special page dedicated to "Point of Interest" as it's not an in-game term and is not commonly used by players, it's just a way to classify a location.  The word "location" instead would seem just fine.  Also, a Mission Outpost is still considered an Outpost for map purposes, "Outpost" is part of its name after all, it's just a special case of an Outpost.

 * Your edits work for me. I'm also good with replacing Point of Interest with location (no article) (now changed).
 * However, the wiki does refer to Mission Locations rather than Mission Outposts...and, until the discussion, I didn't understand what was/was not similar about the one from the other. --Tennessee Ernie Ford 00:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I've always thought of them as outposts and was surprised to see that that's not the "official" terminology. O_o But then again, neither is "Mission Location," I think it was just chosen by wikians. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 03:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
