This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. Click here to see a monthly parameter usage report for this template in articles based on this TemplateData. TemplateData for Infobox mountain This template is used to create an infobox for an article about a mountain. Template parameters Parameter Description Type Status Name 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). String required Other name other_name An alternate English name for the mountain, e.g., "Mount McKinley" for Denali. Quotes can be used as normal to italicize or bold the text if desired. String optional Etymology etymology The etymology of the name String optional Native name native_name The name of the mountain in the local language, if not English. String optional ISO 639 language code native_name_lang The ISO 639 code for the language of the mountain name (if not English). e.g., "fr" for French String optional Language language Language of mountain name. String optional Translation translation Translation of the mountain's name into English String optional Pronunciation pronunciation Use an appropriate IPA-xx template, replacing 'xx' with the ISO code for the language. (See {{IPA-en}} for English.) String optional Photo 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. If the only image available is less than 280px wide, you can use the photo_size parameter to indicate its size. String optional Photo alt photo_alt Alt text for the photo, primarily for visually impaired readers. See Wikipedia:Alternative text for images. String optional Photo caption photo_caption Description of the photograph which is displayed below. Include the month and year if known. String optional Map map The name of a location map as per Template:Location map (e.g. Indonesia or Russia). The coordinate fields position a pushpin coordinate marker and label on the map automatically. Example see: Mount Everest. For a static image, use map_image String optional Map map_image The file name of a static map image to be displayed. For a [[Template:location map|location map]], use map String optional Map alt map_alt Alt text for the map, primarily for visually impaired readers. See [[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images#Maps]]. String optional Map caption map_caption Fill out if a map caption is desired. If not specified, location will be used. String optional Location location Province or state first, followed by country. For USA, the county is optional but if given, be provided before the state. If a pushpin map is being used, the location will be used for the map's caption unless the map_caption parameter is set. String optional Map relief 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 set to 0. String optional Label label Label to be used for the mountain's location on the map. If not specified, the value of the name parameter is used. String optional Label position label_position The position of the label on the pushpin map relative to the pushpin coordinate marker. Valid options are {left, right, top, bottom, none}. Default right Line optional Elevation elevation Maximum height of the mountain. If the mountain has multiple high points, use the highest. Metres should be used first for all mountains outside of the United States and feet for those within the U.S. For conversions, use elevation_m for metres to feet or elevation_ft for feet to metres. This field is required. String optional Elevation (meters) elevation_m Maximum height of the mountain, metres. String optional Elevation (feet) elevation_ft Maximum height of the mountain, feet. String optional Elevation ref elevation_ref Reference for the elevation using the standard <ref> </ref> tags. If elevation_m/elevation_ft was used, the reference must be supplied using this parameter. String optional Prominence prominence The clean topographic prominence of the summit. For conversions, use prominence_m for metres to feet or prominence_ft for feet to metres. String optional Prominence (meters) prominence_m The clean topographic prominence of the summit, metres. String optional Prominence (feet) prominence_ft The clean topographic prominence of the summit, feet. String optional Prominence ref prominence_ref Reference for the prominence using the standard <ref> </ref> tags. String optional Parent peak parent_peak In computation of prominence, peaks form a hierarchy: this is the parent of the peak in the hierarchy. For more information, see Line parent. String optional Listing listing Name of a relevant list of mountains that the peak belongs to. See List of mountain lists for examples. String optional Range range Mountain range 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. String optional Coordinates coordinates coords The latitude and longitude of the summit using the {{coord}} template with display=inline,title. If the article uses a geolinks template in the external links section, do not use the display parameter. String optional Topo topo Topographic map String optional Grid ref (UK) grid_ref_UK Ordnance Survey (UK) grid reference for the mountain, passed to {{gbm4ibx}}. String optional Notes for grid_ref_UK grid_ref_UK_note Notes for grid_ref_UK, e.g., a citation. Unknown optional Grid ref (Ireland) grid_ref_Ireland Ordnance Survey(Ireland) grid reference for the mountain, passed to {{iem4ibx}}. String optional Notes for grid_ref_Ireland grid_ref_Ireland_note Notes for grid_ref_Ireland, e.g., a citation. Unknown optional Coordinate type coord_type Type, from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates/type:]]. Default mountain String optional Region region_code Either a two character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or an ISO 3166-2 region code. See [[Wikipedia:COORD REGION]]. Line optional Source source The source of the coordinate data. See [[Wikipedia:COORD SOURCE]]. String optional Format format Format to display degrees in the coordinate listing. dms for degree, minutes, second output (the default), or dec for decimal degree output. Default dms Line optional Coordinates ref coordinates_ref For any references regarding the coordinates reported. <ref> </ref> tags must be used. String optional Type type The type of mountain — see List of mountain types. Line optional Age age Age of the rock. Geologic time scales may be useful here. Line optional Volcanic arc volcanic_arc If the mountain is a volcano, arc in which it is situated. String optional Volcanic belt volcanic_belt If the mountain is a volcano, belt in which it is situated. String optional Volcanic field volcanic_field If the mountain is a volcano, field in which it is situated. String optional Volcanic arc/belt volcanic_arc/belt If the mountain is a volcano, arc/belt in which it is situated. String optional Last eruption 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. String optional First ascent 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. String optional Easiest route easiest_route The easiest route to the summit. Some possibilities include Hike, Scramble or any of the YDS grades. String optional Embedded embedded 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. String optional Child child "yes" if the mountain infobox is embedded inside another Infobox Line optional Map width map_size map_width Width of the map, in pixels. Must be entered as a number. The default value is 250. Default 250 Number optional Photo size photo_size Width of the photo, if less than 280px. Number optional

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• agent
• category
• county-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
