Parameters
Only the name and elevation fields are required. All other fields are optional and will not display if not present in the template or do not have any value.
Naming and hierarchy parameters
| name | Name of the mountain, peak or hill. If more than one mountain by the name exists, the article is likely disambiguated but this name in the infobox should be the undisambiguated name. For example, Mount Columbia (for Mount Columbia (Canada) or Mount Columbia (Colorado)). An elevation must be supplied. |
|---|---|
| other_name | Other name for the mountain if relatively well known. For example, Mount McKinley for Denali. Quotes can be used as normal to italicize or bold the text if desired. |
| etymology | Origin of name |
| native_name | Name in local language. If more than one, separate using {{Plain list}} |
| native_name_lang | ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} instead |
| pronunciation | Use an appropriate IPA-xx template, replacing 'xx' with the ISO code for the language. (See {{IPA-en}} for English.) |
| listing | Name of a relevant list of mountains that the peak belongs to. See List of mountain lists for examples. |
| range | Mountain range that the mountain/massif/range belongs to, if applicable. The specific range subgroup should be provided instead of any major mountain system unless there is no applicable subgroup. For example, use Teton Range and not Rocky Mountains or Bernese Alps not Alps. |
Photographic and mapping parameters
| photo | Photograph of the mountain. Preferably a distance shot to show most/all of the mountain rather than a view from the summit. Do not include the "File:" prefix. If uploading a new image, please put them on Commons so they can be easily used by the other language Wikipedias. |
|---|---|
| photo_size | The image width in pixels. If specified, the maximum width is 280px. If not specified, the image uses frameless with upright=1.25 which displays it at approximately 125% of the user's default thumbnail size (for most users the image will display at 280px; for logged-in users who have changed the setting at Special:Preferences the displayed image could range from 150px to 500px). See also: Module:InfoboxImage, WP:AUTOSIZE, WP:EIS, WP:IMGSIZE, and MOS:IMGSIZE. |
| photo_alt | Alt text for the photo, primarily for visually impaired readers. See Wikipedia:Alternative text for images. |
| photo_caption | Description of the photograph which is displayed below. Include the month and year if known. |
| map | The name of a location map as per Template:Location map (e.g. Indonesia or Russia). The coordinates template ({{coord}}) positions a pushpin marker and label on the map automatically. Example see: Mount Everest. For a static image, use |map_image=
|
| map_image | The file name of a static map image to be displayed. To use a location map, use |map=.
|
| map_alt | Alt text for the map, primarily for visually impaired readers. See Alt text for maps. |
| map_caption | Fill out if a map caption is desired. If not specified, location will be used. |
| map_relief | If a location map template is specified, this template will attempt to display a relief map if one is available. To force the default map image to display use |map_relief=0.
|
| map_size | Must be entered as only a number—no need for px. The default value and maximum is 272. |
Dimensional parameters
| highest | Name of highest peak in the range |
|---|---|
| highest_location | location of highest peak, e.g., country or province |
| elevation_m | Height of highest point in the range, in meters, as a number (e.g., 8848) or interval of plus/minus spaced (8850 +/- 10). Will automatically convert to feet. The infobox uses the same rounding method as {{convert}}: it guesses the precision from the value. If an editor wishes to specify the precision, use {{convert}} and the freeform parameter, "elevation" instead. |
| prominence_m | The clean topographic prominence of the highest point. Uses same rounding as {{convert}}. |
| length_km | Length and width of range, in kilometers, as a number. Will automatically convert to miles. Uses same rounding as {{convert}} |
| width_km | |
| area_km2 | Area of range, in square kilometers, as a number. Will automatically convert to square miles. Uses same rounding as {{convert}} |
| length_orientation | Length orientation such as N-S for North to South |
| width_orientation | Width orientation such as E-W for East to West |
| elevation_ft | As above, except number is expressed in U.S. units, and will automatically convert to metric. Please use only for mountain ranges in the United States. Uses same rounding as {{convert}}. |
| prominence_ft | |
| length_mi | |
| width_mi | |
| area_mi2 | |
| elevation | Free form field for expressing dimension, no automatic unit conversion. To be used instead of parameters like elevation_m or elevation_ft |
| prominence | |
| length | |
| width | |
| area | |
| elevation_system | The elevation reference system that defines the elevation, e.g., NAVD88 or DE-NHN |
| elevation_note | Note field after dimensional quantity, typically used for inline citation that supports the quantity |
| prominence_note | |
| length_note | |
| width_note | |
| area_note |
Coordinate parameters
There are three ways to enter the location of a mountain range, which controls the content of two different optional fields:
| coordinates | Coordinates for highest peak in range. Will appear under "highest point" section as a link. Use {{coord}} to specify the coordinates, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or an ISO 3166-2 region code, scale, dim, ... See the documentation for details. |
|---|---|
| range_coordinates | Overall coordinates for range, usually the center of the range. Will appear in Geography section as "Range coordinates" and link. Use {{coord}} to specify the coordinates, ISO region, scale, dim, ... |
| grid_ref_UK | If the mountain is in Great Britain, the British grid reference. For mountains outside of Great Britain, this field is not applicable and therefore should be removed if it is present. |
| grid_ref_Ireland | If the mountain is in Ireland (whether Northern Ireland or the Republic), the Irish grid reference. For mountains outside Ireland, this field is not applicable and therefore should be removed if it is present. |
Geographical parameters
| location | Free-form field describing location of range, similar to {{Infobox mountain}} |
|---|---|
| country,country1,...,country19 | Countries that range spans. First use country, then country# in order. For more than four countries, infobox will automatically put into collapsed list. |
| country_type | Alternative label for country, e.g., use Continent for ranges in Antarctica |
| state,state1,...,state19 | States that range spans. For provinces, set state_type to "Province" |
| state_type | Alternative label for state, e.g. Province |
| region,region1,...,region23 | Sub-national regions that range spans. |
| region_type | Label for sub-national regions, overriding default "State/Province" |
| district,district1,...,district19 | Sub-regional areas that range spans, e.g., counties in the United States |
| district_type | Label for sub-regional areas, overriding default "District" |
| city,city1,...,city19 | Settlements within the mountain range. |
| city_type | Label for settlements, overriding default "Settlement" |
| parent | Parent mountain range |
| border,border1,...,border3 | Other mountain ranges that border this one |
| biome | Biome(s) for range |
| topo_maker,topo_map | The publisher and name (respectively) of the topographic map that contains the range |
Geological parameters
| type | The type of mountain — see List of mountain types. |
|---|---|
| age | Age of the rock. Geologic time scales may be useful here. |
| volcanic_arc volcanic_belt volcanic_field volcanic_arc/belt |
If the mountain is a volcano, the arc, belt or field in which it is situated. Each parameter displays an appropriate label. |
| last_eruption | The date of the last eruption if the mountain is of volcanic origin. Only use Unknown if a verifiable source such as the Global Volcanism Program states it as such. |
Miscellaneous parameters
| first_ascent | Date of the first ascent, if known. Typically, this is the first recorded ascent but not necessarily the first true ascent. If it is quite probable the peak/mountain was ascended by local people before then, a footnote should be added. |
|---|---|
| easiest_route | The easiest route to the summit. Some possibilities include Hike, Scramble or any of the YDS grades. |
| child | "yes" if the mountain infobox is embedded inside another Infobox |
| embedded | value = another Infobox to place within the mountain infobox. The other infobox will show up at the end of the mountain infobox. The other infobox needs to have its "embed" or "child" parameter set to 1 or yes, as appropriate. |
