{{Infobox Mountain | Name = | Photo = | Caption = | Elevation = | Location = | Range = | Prominence = | Coordinates = | Topographic map = | Type = | Volcanic_Arc/Belt= | Age = | Last eruption = | First ascent = | Easiest route = | Grid_ref_UK = | Grid_ref_Ireland = | Listing = | Translation = | Language = | Pronunciation = }}
Field | Description |
---|---|
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 (Alberta) or Mount Columbia (Colorado). This field is required. |
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 "Image:" prefix. If uploading a new image, please put them on Commons so they can be easily used by the other language wikipedias. |
Caption | Description of the photograph which is displayed below. Include the month and year if known. |
Elevation | Maximum height of the mountain above mean sea level. If the mountain has multiple high points, use the highest. Use the {{convert}} template to specify the height in metres or feet. For example {{convert|5959|m|ft|0|lk=on}}. Metres should be used first for all mountains outside of the United States and feet for those within in the U.S. This field is required. |
Location | Province or state first, followed by country. For USA, the county is optional but if given, be provided before the state. |
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. |
Prominence | The topographic prominence of the summit. Use the {{convert}} template. |
Coordinates | The latitude and longitude of the summit using the {{coor dms}} or {{coor dm}} templates. |
Topographic map | The name of the topographic map showing the mountain. In Canada, this is usually the National Topographic System map number while for the USA, it's the map name from the USGS. |
Type | The type of mountain — see List of mountain types. |
Volcanic_Arc/Belt | If the mountain is a volcano, it may be part of a volcanic arc or volcanic belt. |
Age' | Age of the rock. Geologic time scales may be useful here. |
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. |
First ascent | Date of the first ascent, if known. Typically, this is the first recorded ascent but not necessarily the first true ascent. |
Easiest route | The easiest route to the summit. Some possibilities include Hike, Scramble or any of the YDS grades. |
Grid_ref_UK | If the mountain is in the United Kingdom, the grid reference. For mountains outside of the UK, this field is not applicable and therefore should be removed if it is present. |
Grid_ref_Ireland | If the mountain is in Ireland, the grid reference. For mountains outside Ireland, this field is not applicable and therefore should be removed it it is present. |
Listing | Name of a relevant list article. |
Translation | If the peak name is not English, the English translation. |
Language | The language of the translation. |
Pronunciation | Pronunciation of the name if not obvious. |
General Notes
