This infobox is designed for articles about mountain ranges, worldwide. The infobox with explicit parameters is shown to the right. Use of the infobox on data from real mountain ranges can be seen on the test page.

Usage

Copy and paste the following lines to the beginning of your document and then fill with data.

This gives the basic parameters but others are available; see the box to the right and the detailed usage sections below.

Do not edit the first and last lines or the field names.

Dimensional parameters

highest	Name of highest peak in the range
highest_location	location of highest peak, e.g., country or province
elevation_m	Height of highest point in the range, in meters, as a number (e.g., 8848). Will automatically convert to feet.
length_km	Length and width of range, in kilometers, as a number. Will automatically convert to miles.
width_km
area_km2	Area of range, in square kilometers, as a number. Will automatically convert to square miles.
length_orientation	Length orientation such as N-S for North to South
width_orientation	Width orientation such as E-W for East to West
elevation_ft	As above, except number is expressed in U.S. units, and will automatically convert to metric. Please use only for mountain ranges in the United States.
length_mi
width_mi
area_mi2
elevation	Free form field for expressing dimension, no automatic unit conversion. To be used instead of parameters like elevation_m or elevation_ft
length
width
area
elevation_system	The elevation reference system that defines the elevation, e.g., NAVD88 or DE-NHN
elevation_note	Note field after dimensional quantity, typically used for inline citation that supports the quantity
length_note
width_note
area_note

Coordinate parameters

There are three ways to enter the location of a mountain range, which controls the content of two different optional fields:

lat_d	Coordinates for highest peak in range. Will appear under "highest point" section as a link.
lat_m
lat_s
lat_NS
long_d
long_m
long_s
long_EW
range_lat_d	Overall coordinates for range, usually the center of the range. Will appear in Geography section as "Range coordinates" and link
range_lat_m
range_lat_s
range_lat_NS
range_long_d
range_long_m
range_long_s
range_long_EW
coordinates	Free-form field for entering coordinates. Will appear as "Range coordinates" in Geography section
coordinates_note	Add a note after the Coordinates link
range_coordinates_note	Add a note after the Range coordinates link

Mapping parameters

The mapping parameters are the same as {{Infobox mountain}}, except for region:

map	Can be the name of a locator map (e.g., "California"), or a filename for a map (e.g., "RockyMountainsLocatorMap.png"
map_alt	The string provided when hovering over the map
map_size	The width of the map in pixels. Defaults to 272
map_caption	The caption underneath the map
map_relief	When map_relief=0, turns off relief maps. This is only functional when a location map template is used to display a map.
x	Specify the absolute location of the marker, from 0 to 1000. See {{Infobox map}} for more information.
y
label	Label of mark on map. Defaults to no label.
label_position	The relative position of the label to the mark, e.g., "top" or "right". See {{Infobox map}}.
region_code	Either a two character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or an ISO 3166-2 region code. See region.

Geographical parameters

location	Free-form field describing location of range, similar to {{Infobox mountain}}
country,country1,...,country19	Countries that range spans. First use country, then country# in order. For more than four countries, infobox will automatically put into collapsed list.
country_type	Alternative label for country, e.g., use Continent for ranges in Antarctica
state,state1,...,state19	States that range spans. For provinces, set state_type to "Province"
state_type	Alternative label for state, e.g. Province
region,region1,...,region23	Sub-national regions that range spans.
region_type	Label for sub-national regions, overriding default "State/Province"
district,district1,...,district19	Sub-regional areas that range spans, e.g., counties in the United States
district_type	Label for sub-regional areas, overriding default "District"
city,city1,...,city19	Settlements within the mountain range.
city_type	Label for settlements, overriding default "Settlement"
border,border1,...,border3	Other mountain ranges that border this one
biome	Biome(s) for range
population	Total human population for range

Geobox	Infobox mountain range
image	photo
image_size	photo_size
image_caption	photo_caption
image_alt	photo_alt
length_imperial	length_mi
width_imperial	width_mi

area	area_km
highest_elevation_imperial	elevation_ft
highest_elevation	elevation_m
highest_elevation_note	elevation_note
highest_lat_d	lat_d
highest_lat_m	lat_m
highest_lat_s	lat_s
highest_lat_NS	lat_NS
highest_long_d	long_d
highest_long_m	long_m
highest_long_s	long_s
highest_long_EW	long_EW
