{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%; margin:auto; width:100%;"
! Parameter
! 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)]]. An elevation must be supplied.
|-
|'''other_name'''
| Other name for the mountain if relatively well known. For example, Denali for Mount McKinley. Quotes can be used as normal to italicize or bold the text if desired.
|-
|'''pronunciation'''
| Use an appropriate IPA-xx template, replacing 'xx' with the ISO code for the language. (See {{tl|IPA-en}} for English.)
|-
|'''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 "File:" prefix. If uploading a new image, please put them on [[Wikimedia Commons|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. For example <code>photo_size = 200</code> with no "px". If no value is specified, the default width is 285 pixels. A standard horizontal photographic composition will generally display well at 285px. A standard vertical composition may need to be adjusted to 180 or 220 pixels.
|-
|'''photo_alt'''
| Alt text for the photo, primarily for visually impaired readers. See ''[[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images]]''.
|-
|'''photo_caption'''
| Description of the photograph which is displayed below. Include the month and year if known.
|-
|'''elevation'''
| Maximum height of the mountain. If the mountain has multiple high points, use the highest. Metres should be used first for all mountains outside of the United States and feet for those within the U.S. For conversions, use '''elevation_m''' for metres to feet or '''elevation_ft''' for feet to metres. This field is required.
|-
|'''elevation_ref'''
|Reference for the elevation using the standard <nowiki><ref> </ref></nowiki> tags. If elevation_m/elevation_ft was used, the reference must be supplied using this parameter.
|-
|'''prominence'''
| The clean [[topographic prominence]] of the summit. For conversions, use '''prominence_m''' for metres to feet or '''prominence_ft''' for feet to metres.
|-
|'''prominence_ref'''
|Reference for the prominence using the standard <nowiki><ref> </ref></nowiki> tags.
|-
|'''listing'''
| Name of a relevant list of mountains that the peak belongs to. See [[List of mountain lists]] for examples.
|-
|'''location'''
| Province or state first, followed by country. For USA, the county is optional but if given, be provided before the state. If a pushpin map is being used, the location will be used for the map's caption unless the map_caption parameter is set.
|-
|'''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]].
|-
|'''parent_peak'''
| In computation of prominence, peaks form a hierarchy: this is the parent of the peak in the hierarchy. For more information, see [[Line parent]].
|-  
|'''map'''
| The name of a location map as per [[Template:Location map]] (e.g. ''Indonesia'' or ''Russia''). The coordinate fields (e.g. lat_d and long_d) position a pushpin coordinate marker and label on the map '''automatically'''. Example see: [[Mount Everest]]
|-
|'''label'''
| Label to be used for the mountain's location on the map. If not specified, the value of the ''name'' parameter is used.
|-
|'''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''.
|-
|'''map_alt'''
| Alt text for the map, primarily for visually impaired readers. See ''[[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images#Maps|Alt text for maps]]''.
|-  
|'''map_caption'''
| Fill out if a map caption is desired. If not specified, '''location''' will be used.
|-
|'''map_relief'''
| When set to a non-blank value, if the specified location map template has a relief map specified, it will be used. If there is no relief map specified by the location map template, the main image will be used. The default value is 1 so that relief maps are the default. To override this and use the main image, specify map_relief=0.
|-  
|'''map_size'''
|  Must be entered as only a number&mdash;'''no need for px'''.  The default value is 250.
|-  
|'''lat_d'''
| Latitude degrees. Can also be used for decimal degrees
|-  
|'''lat_m'''
| Latitude minutes.
|-  
|'''lat_s'''
| If known, latitude seconds.
|-  
|'''lat_NS'''
| '''N''' for North; '''S''' for South.
|-  
|'''long_d'''
| Longitude degrees.
|-  
|'''long_m'''
| Longitude minutes.
|-  
|'''long_s'''
| If known, longitude seconds.
|-  
|'''long_EW'''
| '''E''' for East; '''W''' for West.
|-
|'''x'''<br>'''y'''
|Specifies the position of the location marker when the X,Y method for map display is used. The coordinates of the marker in pixels based on a map width of 1000 pixels. The template will scale these values for proper display. See {{tl|Infobox map}} for further details.
|-  
|'''region'''
| Either a two character [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2]] country code or an [[ISO 3166-2]] region code. See [[WP:COORD REGION|region]].
|-
|'''source'''
| The source of the coordinate data. See [[WP:COORD SOURCE|source]].
|-
|'''coordinates'''
| The latitude and longitude of the summit using the {{tl|coord}} template with ''display=inline,title''. If the article uses a geolinks template in the external links section, do not use the ''display'' parameter. <u>Note</u> that using <code>lat_d</code> and <code>long_d</code> will cause this parameter to be ignored.
|-
|'''coordinates_ref'''
| For any references regarding the coordinates reported.  <nowiki><ref> </ref></nowiki> tags must be used.
|-
|'''grid_ref_UK'''
| If the mountain is in [[Great Britain]], the [[British national grid reference system|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 of Ireland|Republic]]), the [[Irish national grid reference system|Irish grid reference]]. For mountains outside Ireland, this field is not applicable and therefore should be removed if it is present.
|-
|'''topo'''
| 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 &mdash; see [[List of mountain types]].
|-
|'''volcanic_arc<br />volcanic_belt<br />volcanic_field<br />volcanic_arc/belt<br />'''
| If the mountain is a volcano, the [[volcanic arc|arc]], [[volcanic belt|belt]] or [[volcanic field|field]] in which it is situated. Each parameter displays an appropriate label.
|-
|'''age'''
| Age of the rock. [[Geologic time scale]]s 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 [http://www.volcano.si.edu/ 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. If it is quite probable the peak/mountain was ascended by local people before then, a footnote should be added.
|-
|'''easiest_route'''
| The easiest route to the summit. Some possibilities include [[Hiking|Hike]], [[Scrambling|Scramble]] or any of the [[Yosemite Decimal System|YDS]] grades.
<!-- Should be in the article lead. No reason to duplicate here.
|-
|'''translation'''
| If the peak name is not English, the English translation.
|-
|'''language'''
| The language of the translation.
-->
