This template creates a description page for a location on the grid; the location's page itself is created with Template:Location.


Example

{{Location Description
|page=Pizza Palace
|name=Pizza Palace -- Albuquerque
|-----
|paragraph1=Pizza Palace is a bustling restaurant filled with all types of people -- an interesting and thorough cross-section of humanity. The low prices and frequent specials attract everyone from hungry college kids to curmudgeonly old people; from pasty late-night nerds taking a break from MMOs to families with screaming, marinara-smeared toddlers. Pizza Palace is open 24/7 except for holidays, with a happy hour from four to seven, and offers just about every topping commonly or uncommonly found upon pizzas. The menu also includes a variety of non-pizza food options such as pasta, sandwiches, and salads, for freakish pizza-haters dragged here by their friends. Eat in, get it to go, or call from home for delivery!
|paragraph2=The restaurant has a reputation for hiring stoners and slackers, but it's a mostly clean place with booths and tables on the inside, plus an outdoor patio area for smokers and people with dogs. The floor is a checkerboard pattern of black and white linoleum squares, and all the chairs and booths are red. Each table is covered with a fresh sheet of butcher paper and is equipped with a little cup of crayons along with the napkins, parmesan, and red pepper flakes. Neon signs in the restaurant windows announce PIZZA! and BUDWEISER!, and CORONA!, along with the always-lit OPEN! sign. Video games both archaic and current tempt children to scream at their parents for quarters, and a karaoke area reminds tipsy customers that beer makes you an excellent singer.
|paragraph3=<center>~*~[[Pizza Palace|places]] are available here~*~</center>
|-----
|exit_name1=Out
|exit_link1=Q1_--_Central_Avenue:_300_East
|exit_alias1=O
|exit_name2=Employee Exit
|exit_link2=none
|exit_alias2=EE
}}

The above would create a description page for Pizza Palace -- with an additional exit (just to show how it works) that doesn't link anywhere in the wiki.
