+Elevator pitch of the location. Two easily-readable paragraphs, tops. All of the below sections are optional, but please include what makes sense. Concise is fine.
 Locations are a broad category, including solar systems, planets, cities, houses, and so on. Not all parts of this template will fit every type of location perfectly.
-| {{  small image }} ||
+A location's namespace should exist under whatever the next closest location is. IE, a fishtank would be in a house or an aquarium, so locations:aquarium:fishtank. A planet would be in a system, so locations:system:planet. This'll keep things nice and organized and make it easy to build useful lists, like the one at the end of this template.

+When a Point of Interest needs extra detail, consider making a "child article" and providing a brief description here to garner interest.
