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. If the only image available is less than 300px wide, you can use the Photo size parameter to indicate its size.
Photo size Specify the width of the photo in pixels. (Example: 200px) If this line is left out, the default width is 300 pixels. If this line is included without a parameter, the photo may not display properly. A standard horizontal photographic composition will generally display well at 300px. A standard vertical composition may need to be adjusted to 180-220px.
Caption Description of the photograph which is displayed below. Include the month and year if known.
pushpin_map The name of a location map as per Template:Location map (eg. Indonesia or Russia). The coordinate fields (eg. latd and longd) position a pushpin coordinate marker and label on the map automatically. Example see: Mount Everest
pushpin_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}. If this field is not specified, the default value is right.
pushpin_map_caption Fill out if a map caption is desired.
pushpin_mapsize Must be entered as only a number—no need for px. The default value is 250.
coordinates_ref For any references regarding the coordinates reported. <ref> </ref> tags must be used.
latd Latitude degrees. Can also be used for decimal degrees
latm Latitude minutes.
lats If known latitude seconds.
latNS N for North; S for South.
longd
longm
longs If known.
longEW E for East; W for West.
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.
Parent peak In computation of prominence, peaks form a hierarchy: this is the parent of the peak in the hierarchy. For more information, see topographic prominence#Prominence parentage
Coordinates 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
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 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 it it is present.
Listing Name of a relevant list of mountains that the peak belongs to. See Lists of mountains for examples.
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

  • 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.
  • Blank starter templates for various areas of the world (just copy and paste):

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article 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.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • "adr"
  • "county-name"
  • "fn"
  • "label"
  • "locality"
  • "nickname"
  • "note"
  • "org"
  • "region"
  • "street-address"
  • "vcard"

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

  • "geo"
  • "latitude"
  • "longitude"

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
