I made the "loc map" system work for multiple levels (to support places like Highkeep and Erudin).

Basically, "mappers" can create three (or however many) maps for a zone (each one with a separate testGrid data set), and specify "this one is level 0, this is level 1, and this is level 2".

When someone visits an NPC who is in that zone, the wiki will look at their "Loc" entry, and if it just has two numbers it will show the level 1 map. But if the entry says "Basement' or "Level 0" in front of the numbers, the wiki will instead show the map for that level.

So feel free to break maps into as many parts as you want, the wiki can support it! The hard part is that it means doing more testGrid work.
