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
The publisher of the topographic map that the range appears in
topo_map
The name of the topographic map that the range appears in
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
topo_maker,topo_map
The publisher and name (respectively) of the topographic map that contains the range
For users of Geobox
Some of the parameter names have changed from those used in Geobox, to make them compatible with those used in {{Infobox mountain}}. The renamed parameters are:
