The change from transversed to traversed is absolutely correct. However, it now needs to be changed in each of the articles using this template. Nationalparks 05:06, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

In the meantime, I put "Transversed by" in as an undocumented parameter.

[edit] Pyreneean mountain passes

I have been adding bits to Tour de France pages, and was surprised how few articles there are on the mountain passes, especially in the Pyrenees. I'll quite happily start creating articles about some of the climbs to be used in this year's tour, but before I do so can I briefly comment on the Template:Infobox Mountain Pass that's currently in use. If you compare the template on Col d'Aubisque with its French equivalent, I hope you'll agree that the French one is far more informative. Would there be any objection to me creating an improved template based on the French one? Daemonic Kangaroo 12:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I think it's time we improve this template and as you said in WikiProject Cycling the french one [1] looks fine. It would be better if some member of Wikiproject Mountains could give another view on the matter before someone changes the template.Drunt 13:43, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Unless someone has a better idea I think we should add the same information that french template currently displays:

{{Infobox Mountain pass
| nom= 
| image= 
| légende= 
| altitude= 
| massif= 
| latitude= 
| longitude= 
| pays1= 
| pays2= 
| vallée1= 
| vallée2= 
| loc1= 
| loc2= 
| ville1= 
| ville2= 
| déclivité_moy1= 
| déclivité_moy2= 
| déclivité_max1= 
| déclivité_max2= 
| kilométrage1= 
| kilométrage2= 
| accès1= 
| accès2= 
| fermeture_hivernale= 
| carte= 
}}

lalitude/longitude could be just coordinates. Maybe adding percentages is too technically? Should this template also be used for roads up to ski stations(Alpe d'Huez) or other one-road climbs(Angliru)?Drunt (talk) 20:14, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
