:Alternatively, try and convince those who are concerned in-game terminology should take priority in situations like this, that in this case, practical use of language for editing on a topic as conceptually fundamental as 'location' should be an exception, to the otherwise sound practice of avoiding contradiction of game terms. Personally, considering how much of a road block this one word has been, one way or another, I'd go with the original 3 part definition above, replacing 'location' with 'position'. Unless I have missed something obvious, it seems comprehensible and appealingly concise, and primarily, would only need to be a concern on a very specific subsection of pages anyway.

:: I'm planning on updating some of the earlier locations, that have clearly incorrect information or are missing fundamental details, over the next few days. For now, in the rare occasion that clarification is needed, I'm using '''''Points of Interest''''' when I need to reference exact locations, within a location, that lack an explicit unique name; such as loot locations, interactive objects, small areas etc. For a location entirely contained within another location, I'm using '''''Sub-Location'''''. This is just an explanation, not a recommendation. Feel free to correct any mistakes or change anything you think needs improvement. If anyone feels either of the terms mentioned in this comment are being used incorrectly, are misleading, or are just plain wrong, please leave a comment below this one, or on the discussion of the related page.
