Parameters descriptions

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.

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 {{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 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 photo_size = 200 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 <ref> </ref> 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 <ref> </ref> 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 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—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 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 {{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 region.
source	The source of the coordinate data. See source.
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. Note that using lat_d and long_d will cause this parameter to be ignored.
coordinates_ref	For any references regarding the coordinates reported. <ref> </ref> tags must be used.
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 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 — see List of mountain types.
volcanic_arc volcanic_belt volcanic_field volcanic_arc/belt	If the mountain is a volcano, the arc, belt or field in which it is situated. Each parameter displays an appropriate label.
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. 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 Hike, Scramble or any of the YDS grades.
