Template talk:Landmark

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 haven't seen any comments &mdash; does that mean it's okay to update the text? Or, should I post a note in community portal before changing a template (however limited its use)?  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:52, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * If the purple text above is what you want to update to, that's fine with me. I also think this page should be adequate for a question of this nature.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
