Looks like the map point template doesn't handle multiple locations near each other well. I tried to put all the various sites of Edelbar on one map and got this:

Its not a really big issue. Edelbar is really one POI, and marking each smaller POI within it doesn't really help. In fact, the only time I can think of where it might be helpful to have multiple points on the same map would be for things like the locations of the shadow spires when there were active, where their current craters are, and other content that is similar and spread throughout dereth, so overlap would not be an issue. Still, one thing that may help is doubling the size of the map, and if possible specifying the point to be displayed on the map.

I don't know anything about wiki template creation, but maybe something like this:

{{Map Point
 |43.4|N|27.0|E <<if left blank, it uses the default point - yellow/red star
 |42.5|N|26.8|E|Blue << uses a marker like standard but with blue tips. Multiple colors available
 |43.3|N|26.6|E|Small << uses the small yellow dot marker
}}

Would anything like that be possible?
