I'm glad to see all this feedback! :)

Re: Ebony's mention of walkthroughs in location pages

You are correct that a walkthrough should not be in location articles. I have also seen this on many location pages that have huge quests tied to them, such as Arkngthamz, and as you can see there is type of walkthrough on that page, but under the "Description" header. Most of what is written in that location article can be summed up under the "Quest" header for the quest that takes place there, Lost to the Ages.

Re: Long lists of characters and LocationIDs in infoboxes

It may be possible to tweak the infobox to do a show/hide, similar to how the Book template hides additional information in the infobox.

Re: Adding a header to describe a location.

A header can be used in the current SF in the case that a detailed history is needed about the location. Mzulft (probably not the best example) has a medium sized description in the lead, and "History" header to explain the rest. If there are sublocations the location then there should be a new header title "Sublocations" and the sublocation name of that, in this case "Mzulft Aedrome", which by the way should not be a new page, because it's a sublocation, and those never get a separate page (exceptions with Blackreach).

Re: Services, Facilities, etc...

The use of a "Facilities" header does make more sense when listing work type areas. When I think "Amenities", I think of something pleasant and not work related. Maybe that's just me. I would vote in favor of using a "Services" header for listing merchants, innkeepers, etc...

Re: Interactions vs. Quests

For minor quests at locations for chopping wood, selling crops, etc. I think having an interaction header for that would be okay. After all, it's not a quest that appears in the journal, and it is more of an interaction than quest. But, for bigger quests at locations, we will need to stick to "Quests", and not have both, which is present on many pages right now.

Re: Loot

And, there is something else that I forgot to mention about one of the current headers we use in location articles. "Loot", "Notable loot", and "Notable items". Only one should be used, and the current SF is "Notable items", so it's either keep it "Notable items" or change it to "Notable loot". I'm in favor of keeping the SF the way it is, "Notable items".

So, in short a basic layout of location style and formatting would be something like this: {| class="wikitable collapsible2 collapsed" style="width:100%; margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:1px;" ! sab="1148"| Click to show
 * - sab="1147"
 * - sab="1149"
 * sab="1150"|

Services

 * }

Well...that was a long post. I probably missed something.
