Parameter descriptions

This table describes all parameters which can be used in building infoboxes. Only the name parameter must be assigned a value.

Parameter	Description
name	Required. The name of the glacier area. It will be displayed at the top of the infobox. In most cases this should be the same as the article name less any disambiguation. For example, if the article title is Columbia Glacier (Washington) then name=Columbia Glacier.
other_name	If there is a common English name for the glacier use it for the name parameter. This parameter can be used to display the name in the local language or for an alternate English name if it is commonly used. If you would like to italicize the text use wiki markup.
photo image_name	The name of an image file to be displayed. No special formatting is needed.
photo_width	Can be used to change the display width of the image. The default and maximum value is 272px. Images with a horizontal orientation (landscape mode) will generally display well at the default setting. An image with vertical orientation (portrait mode) may need to be adjusted to 180px or 220px. For example, photo_width=200 and not photo_width=200px.
photo_alt image_alt	Alt text for the photo, for visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT.
photo_caption	The caption that will appear below the image if one is required.
map	The name of the location map to be displayed. See Map display methods. To use a static image, use |map_image=
map_image	The file name of a static map image to be displayed. To use a location map, use |map=.
map_width map_size	Can change the display width of the map. The default is 240px and the maximum width is 272px For example, map_width=200 and not map_width=200px.
map_alt	Alt text for the map. See WP:ALT.
map_caption	The caption that appears below the map if one is required.
map_relief	When map_relief=0, turns off relief maps. This is functional only when a location map template is used to display a map. See below.
label	A text message that will be displayed next to the marker.
label_position	Specifies the position of a label with respect to the marker. If a label_position is specified and label is not defined then the value assigned name will be displayed.
mark	The image to use for the marker. The default is File:Red pog.svg. See Template:Location map for more information.
mark_width	The display width of the marker image in pixels. The default is 8.
type	The type of glacier. For example: Alpine, valley, or continental. See Glacier#Types of glaciers.
location	The location of the glacier. Don't be too precise. Mountain, county, state and country are good in the USA. If the glacier is in multiple counties, just list the state and country. For areas in other countries, adjust accordingly.
coords coordinates	For the {{Coord}} template. Will generate a location marker if a map is used. See the Coord template documentation for information on adding type, source, format, region, and display data. Using display:inline,title is recommended.
coords_ref coordinates_ref	Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using ‎<ref>...‎</ref> tags.
area	Area of the glacier. Usually in acres for US locations and hectares elsewhere. The {{Convert}} template should be used. Very small glaciers might be specified in square yards or square metres.
length	The length of the glacier.
width	The width of the glacier.
thickness	The thickness of the glacier.
terminus	The terminus of the glacier.
status	The status of the glacier. For example, is the glacier receding.

Map display methods

Display a marker on a map using a template and geographic coordinates

A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of special map templates. To display a marker, the geographic coordinates must be specified using the {{Coord}} template inside the |coordinates= parameter. See the documentation for {{Location map}}. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters used by {{Location map}}. A map template can be found using these sources:

List of templates – Many of the listed items are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected.

Category:Location map templates - templates sorted by category.

Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info – a search that might help.

Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/ – another search that might help.

Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map – another search that might help.

All of the names begin with the words "Location map" followed by the area covered. The value you need to specify is the area name. The map template for Canada is Location map/data/Canada. In this case specify |map=Canada.

Four Corners, Canada
Example using geographic coordinates
Coordinates	60°N 102°W

{{Infobox glacier
| name = Four Corners, Canada
| map = Canada
| map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates
| coordinates = {{coord|60|N|102|W|display=inline <!-- for documentation page only - not general practice --> }}
}}

By default, {{Coord}} displays in the infobox only in the page title. Parameter |display=inline,title can be added to make the coordinates display at the top of the page as well.

Using the {{Coord}} template for coordinates

Gannett Glacier

Terminus	Moraine

{{Infobox glacier

With a map

Eyjafjallajökull

Location in Iceland
Location	Iceland

Area	100 కి.మీ2 (40 చ. మై.)
Status	Most recently (as of May 2010)

{{Infobox glacier

| photo_caption = Gígjökull, Eyjafjallajökull's largest [[Glacier morphology#Outlet glaciers|outlet glacier]] covered in volcanic ash

| location = [[Iceland]]
| coords = {{coord|63|38|N|19|36|W|display=inline|region:IS}}

}}

Note that glaciers lying south of the equator and east of the Prime Meridian to the International Date Line will use "S" and "E" in their coordinates.

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. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date that is specific to the day, use {{start date}} unless the date is before 1583 CE. If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• category
• country-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• street-address
• url
• vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
