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	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	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 map to be displayed. See Map display methods.
map_width	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 only functional 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:Infobox_map#Marks 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	For the {{Coord}} template. Will not generate a location marker if a map is used. When this option is used the type, region, scale, source, format and display parameters are not functional but this data can be entered in the Coord template. The defaults should be type:glacier and display:inline,title.
lat_d	The degrees of latitude. This value can be specified as a decimal degree. If the decimal format is used then minutes and seconds should not be specified.
lat_m	The minutes of latitude.
lat_s	The seconds of latitude.
lat_NS	N if north of the equator, S if south of the equator. Other values will be disregarded.
long_d	The degrees of longitude. This value can be specified as a decimal degree. If the decimal format is used then minutes and seconds should not be specified.
long_m	The minutes of longitude.
long_s	The seconds of longitude.
long_EW	E if east of the prime meridian, W if west of the prime meridian. Other values will be disregarded.
coords_ref	Can be used with either coordinate display method above. Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using <ref>...</ref> tags.
scale	Determines the zoom factor for external map websites. See scale. The value is 1:10,000 for the default type which is landmark. Using scale=50000 will change the zoom to 1:50,000.
region	A country code. See ISO 3166-2:US, ISO 3166-2 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2. For example US-OR is the code for Oregon. This computer readable code is recommended. It will not be displayed. See region.
source	Source of the coordinate data. See source. For example GNIS or NGS, etc. It will not be displayed. Not all possible values are recognized.
format	Determines the format of the coordinates displayed. Valid values are dms for degrees, minutes and seconds, and dec for decimal degrees. The default value is dms.
display	Determines where the coordinates will be displayed. Valid values are inline and inline,title and their variants. The default is inline,title and is recommended.
x y	Specifies the position of the location marker on a map image. The coordinates of the marker in pixels based on a map with a width of 1000 pixels. The template will scale these values for proper display. See below.
x% y%	Specifies the position of the location marker on a map image. x% specifies the percentage of the distance across the image from the left edge and y% specifies the percentage of the distance down from the top edge. See below.
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 parameters lat_d, long_d, etc. 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/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 the Canada is Location map Canada. In this case specify map=Canada.

Four Corners, Canada
Example using geographic coordinates
Coordinates	60°00′00″N 102°00′00″W

{{Infobox glacier
| name = Four Corners, Canada
| map = Canada
| map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates
| lat_d = 60 | lat_m = 00 | lat_s = 00 | lat_NS = N
| long_d = 102 | long_m = 00 | long_s = 00 | long_EW = W
}}

Display a marker on any map image using the x and y parameters

The values for the x and y parameters are the pixel coordinates of the location mark when the image is scaled to a width of 1000 pixels.

x is the pixel offset for the mark from the left edge of an image 1000px wide.

y is the pixel offset for the mark from the top edge of an image 1000px wide.

There are at least two ways of obtaining these values:

1. Download the image from the image's file page to your computer. Open the image in a graphics editor, such as GIMP or XnView. Scale (resize) the image to a width of 1000px and then note the x, y coordinates when the cursor points to to the desired location. Use these values directly.
2. Download the image from the image's file page to your computer. Open the image in any image viewer that displays the coordinates of the cursor position, such as Paint from Microsoft. Note the x, y coordinates when the cursor points to the location. Then:

1000 · x'/w = x  and  1000 · y'/w = y

where x' and y' are the cursor coordinates, w is the width of the image displayed on your computer and x and y are the values to assign to the x and y parameters.

Four Corners, Canada
Example using the x and y parameters

{{Infobox glacier
| name = Four Corners, Canada
| map = Canada location map.svg
| map_caption = Example using the x and y parameters
| x = 369
| y = 487
}}

Display a marker on any map image using the x% and y% parameters

x% specifies the percent of the distance across the image from the left edge.

y% specifies the percent of the distance down from the top edge.

In the following example the marker is 36.9% of the way across and 57.4% of the way down.

Four Corners, Canada
Example using the x% and y% parameters

{{Infobox glacier
| name = Four Corners, Canada
| map = Relief map of Canada.png
| map_caption = Example using the x% and y% parameters
| x% = 36.9
| y% = 57.4
}}

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.
