[edit] Usage

[edit] Example

The wikicode below will create the Infobox at right:

{{Infobox_Glacier | glacier_name = Gannett Glacier (Example)
  | image_name = Gannet Peak with Gannett Glacier.jpg
  | caption = Gannett Glacier on the north slope of [[Gannett Peak]]
  | type = Mountain glacier
  | location = [[Wyoming]], [[United States|U.S.]]
  | coordinates = {{coor dms|43|11|48|N|109|39|02|W|}}
  | area = 896 acres (3.63 km²)
  | length = 
  | thickness =
  | terminus = Moraine
  | status = Retreating
}}

[edit] Using the Template

{{Infobox_Glacier 
  | glacier_name = NAME
  | image_name = IMAGE_FILE_NAME
  | caption = CAPTION
  | type = TYPE
  | location = LOCATION
  | coordinates = COORDINATES {{coor dms||||N||||W|}}
  | area = AREA
  | length = KILOMETERS km (MILES mi)
  | thickness = THICKNESS
  | terminus = TERMINUS
  | status = STATUS
}}

• Be sure to replace all of the all-caps words.
• Any of the items above can be safely left blank. Note that you may include an image with no caption, but a caption will not be shown if there is no image.
• Wiki links [[]] are fine in any of the Infobox fields.

[edit] Blank version

The following version is a blank that can be copied and pasted into articles. An example of how it may appear when most of the data is added is available at Gannett Glacier.

{{Infobox_Glacier 
  | glacier_name =
  | image_name = 
  | caption = 
  | type = 
  | location =
  | coordinates = {{coor dms||||N||||W|}}
  | area = 
  | length = 
  | thickness = 
  | terminus = 
  | status = 
}}

As a note of caution, don't forget that glaciers lying south of the equator and east of the Prime Meridian to the International Date Line will be "S" and "E" in the coordinates section.
