Template:Geobox Mountain Range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This template is to be used for mountains, hills, peaks, volcanoes etc.. It belongs to the Geobox series of templates, which are designated to be used for various geography related articles. They use the same layout, internal logic and coherently named fields. All templates can have a name on top, picture below, then section on Country, Region etc. followed by fields which are specific for every geographic feature, with a map at the bottom.
It uses highly complex syntax which relies on many subtemplates which are common to the series. For general instructions see Geobox, please do read them. Below are all the fields for this particular template with one or more blank tables which should be copied into the article and then filled in (rather than copying the template code from an existing page). Please respect these rules:
- do not put multiple items into one field, use numbered fields instead (e.g. city, city1, city2…).
- enter unformatted numbers only, both metric and imperial values are displayed, provide either metric or imperial ones, the opposite is calculated automatically
- do not put note and references into the fields themselves, use appropriate _note field
- do not delete fields you did not use, someone else might need them in future

other_name, other_name1 … | other names of the range, can contain names in other languages (then preferable in the {{lang-xx|}} style) | |
Image | ||
image | a representative photograph of the range | |
image_size | photograph size in pixels (set to 256 if left blank), input just the number (i.e. without 'px') | |

Country etc. | ||
country, country1 … | country/countries in which the range lies | |
state, state1 … | state/states in which the range lies | |
region, region1 … | region/regions in which the range lies | |
district, district1 … | district/districts in which the range lies | |

country_type state_type region_type district_type city_type |
Text to be displayed instead of the default category name, e.g. it can be region_type = County for the USA, or city_type = Villages. These can contain wikilinks too, e.g. state_type = [[States of Germany|Bundesland]]. | |
Orography | ||
unit, unit1 … | higher orographic unit/units to which the range belongs, (e.g. unit = Western Carpathians and unit1 = Carpathians) | unit_note |
border, border1 … | oragraphic unit/units on which the range borders | border_note |
geology, geology1 … | geological composition (i.e. rock type/types) | geology_note |
period, period1 … | the age of the rocks | period_note |
orogeny, orogeny1 … | orogenic process during which the range was raised | orogeny_note |
Geography | ||
area(_imperial) | range area in km² (mi²) | area_note |
length(_imperial) | range length in km (miles) | length_note |

width(_imperial) | range width in km (miles) | width_note |
width_orientation | orientation of the width | width_note |
highest_name | highest point name | highest_name_note |
highest_location * | can be a descriptive location (e.g. Northwest from the Orange hamlet) | highest_location_note |
highest_lat_d … ** | highest point latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes, seconds and hemispheres (use N or W and W or E) | highest_coordinates_note |
highest_elevation(_imperial) | highest point elevation in meters (feet) | highest_elevation_note |
lowest_name | lowest point name | source_name_note, source1_name_note |
lowest_location * | a descriptive location | lowest_location_note |
lowest_lat_d … ** | lowest point latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes, seconds and hemispheres (use N or S, and W or E) | lowest_coordinates_note |
lowest_elevation(_imperial) | lowest point elevation in meters (feet) | higfhest_elevation_note |
woods | percentage of the range area that is forested | woods_note |
Free fields | ||
free_name, free1_name … | free field name | free_name_note, fre1e_value_note … |
free_value, free1_value … | free field value | free_value_note, free1_value_note … |
Map section | ||
map | map showing river, its basin, tributaries etc. | |
map_size | map size in pixels (set to 256 if left blank) | |
map_caption | map caption | |
map_first | whether the map should be displayed on top, instead of the photograph | |
* All locations can have additional fields: field_district, field_district1 …, field_state, field_state1 …, field_region, field_region1 …, field_country, field_country1 … | ||
** Coordinates are defined as field_lat_d, field_lat_m, field_lat_s, field_lat_NS, field_long_d, field_long_m, field_long_s, field_long_WE |
[edit] Blank
Blank templates that can be copied into a new page and then filled in. There are many additional fields (not included here) which change how various fields are displayed, please consult Geobox main page first.
