Infobox mountain/Berg

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should always be substituted (i.e., use ((subst:Infobox mountain/Berg))). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot.

Usage[edit]

This template enables data on mountains imported from German Wikipedia (using de:Vorlage:Infobox Berg) to be translated and displayed in English Wikipedia. This saves the enormous amount of work otherwise entailed in translating parameters and data into en.wiki templates. Some of this translation involves technical terms that may not be obvious to some translators. In addition, en.wiki templates are not capable of displaying all the information provided here.

The template is available for the hundreds of articles on German, Austrian and Swiss mountains being translated into English Wikipedia that will be able to take full advantage of its features.

When translating an article from German Wikipedia, just import the infobox and translate any free text. It is worth previewing the result first as data in several parameters will be automatically translated if recognised; otherwise it defaults to the entered text. This feature is being enhanced continually. Blank parameters are ignored. The parameter text is shown below; their use is explained in the Parameters section.

Coordinates[edit]

The display of coordinates has now been automated.

Parameters[edit]

Parameter	Meaning	Type	Explanation
NAME	Name	optional	Name in the header of the infobox; default is the article name.
NEBENBOX	Additional box	(Value equal)	If this parameter is set the creation of article sections outside the box is suppressed, for example the article coordinates. This is necessary if more than one box is used in an article. All boxes apart from one must then be marked with NEBENBOX. If, in addition, the location map is to be suppressed, because it is the same for several boxes, the code `POSKARTE=none` must also be set (see below)
BILD	Image	optional	Name of an image with a view of the mountain. Landscape views work better than portrait views and should be preferred. Images that show the whole mountain should be preferred over those with just a shot of the summit. Images that do not show the mountain, but are simply a view from the mountain, or just a map, are better entered under BILD1 to BILD5, because these parameters are used for checking missing images.
BILD-BREITE	Image width	optional	Used for entering the width of the image at BILD; inevitably this has an impact on the image height as well. The default is `324x300px`. This defines the largest surrounding rectangle, images will not be cropped.
BILDBESCHREIBUNG	Caption	optional	The caption underneath the image. It should be clear from the text, which (of several) mountains in an image is the subject of the article. Entering the following information in the text is useful: direction of shot ("from the north", The north face of the XXX, …), location (seen from YYY) and time of year if relevant. At the least this information should be available in detail at the image page itself.
HÖHE	Height	optional	Height as a number without thousand separator, e.g. `4321`. It will be automatically formatted by the template e.g. `4,321`. Entries with decimal places must use a decimal point not a comma, e.g. `1234.5` in order to be displayed correctly `1,234.5`. Based on the height the category from Category:One-thousanders … Category:Eight-thousanders will be entered, i. e. the category does not have to be entered manually.
HÖHE-BEZUG	Height datum	optional	Entry of the mountain's height datum, on which the height is based in Germany "DE-NN" for m above NN (alt) "DE-NHN" for m above NHN (new) "DE-HN" for m above HN (GDR) in Austria: "AT" for m above Adriatic in Switzerland: "CH" for m above Meer Other values under Template:Höhe. If the height datum is not known, do not enter anything in this parameter! This will automatically generate "m" (for metres). Entering "m" or "metres" is counter-productive and should not be done.
HÖHE-ANMERKUNG	Height remarks	optional	Any remarks about the height which are entered on the same line in the infobox. These could be other measurements that are important enough for the infobox or, for mountains on country borders, the different heights in different reference systems (HÖHE-BEZUG). Examples: \| HÖHE = 3401 \| HÖHE-BEZUG = AT \| HÖHE-ANMERKUNG = (((Höhe\|3402\|CH)) (Switzerland) or ((Höhe\|3399\|IT)) (Italy)) expands in the infobox to Height: 3,401 m (AA) (3,402 m above M (Switzerland) or 3,399 m s.l.m. (Italy)) \| HÖHE = 3401 \| HÖHE-BEZUG = AT \| HÖHE-ANMERKUNG = (according to other sources ((Höhe\|3399\|AT))) )) expands in the infobox to Height: 3,401 m (AA) (according to other sources 3,399 m above A.).
LAGE	Location	optional	The location of the mountain, e. g. "Tyrol, Austria" or even "Border of Tyrol, Austria / Italy", the entries should be linked.
GEBIRGE	Range	optional	The range in which the mountain lies, e. g. "Bernese Alps".
DOMINANZ	Isolation	optional, numerical	The isolation gives the distance (in kilometres) to the next higher mountain.
DOMINANZ-BEZUG	Isolation datum	optional	The next higher mountain; can be linked.
SCHARTENHÖHE	Prominence	optional, numerical	The prominence is a measurement (in metres) for the 'independence' of a mountain.
SCHARTE-BEZUG	Prominence datum	optional	The higher mountain, which can be reached with the least loss of height. This mountain need not be the same as the nearest dominating mountain. It is a dominant mountain, but not necessarily the nearest. Can be linked.
SCHARTE	Wind-gap	optional	Name of the wind-gap related to the prominence above.
BREITENGRAD und LÄNGENGRAD	Latitude and Longitude	optional	The WGS84 coordinates for the (highest) summit on the mountain. Should be given in decimal format; the template automatically converts this to dms in the display. If not, convert to decimal or enter the dms data under the COORD parameter, as the format is not supported by Template:Coord.
COORD	Coordinates	optional	Enter the coordinates using Template:Coord. May be used if data are in dms format. Entry here will suppress any preceding BREITENGRAD und LÄNGENGRAD entries. Location map will not display as it cannot interpret Template:Coord. Better to use decimal data under BREITENGRAD und LÄNGENGRAD, which will automatically display in dms format anyway.
REGION-ISO	ISO region	optional	A combination of the relevant ISO 3166-1 or ISO 3166-2 codes. Especially for mountains that often lie on state borders, the value consists of more than one ISO code, these should be separated by "/" (NB: not tested). e. g. `AT-7/DE-BY` for a mountain on the Tyrolean-Bavarian border. The default location map will be taken from the first section of a multiple ISO code entry. For that reason the sequence of codes is relevant.
KARTE	Map	optional	Name of an image for a map. If this parameter is set, this map will be used instead of the automatically generated location map.
POSKARTE	Location map	optional	Name of an alternative location map. This will overwrite the location map derived from REGION-ISO. Setting this to none will suppress the display of a location map.
ALTERNATIVKARTE	Alternative map	optional	Alternative map (image) in relation to a POSKARTE or REGION-ISO fixed datum.
TOPO-KARTE	Relief map	optional	Link to a relief map.
TYP	Type of mountain	optional	The type of mountain. Valid entries include: Volcano (Vulkan), Felsgipfel, Kegelberg, mesa (Tafelberg), ridge (Bergrücken), Ice age moraine (eiszeitliche Moräne), Schuttberg (Trümmerberg) (an artificially amassed hill) etc.
GESTEIN	Rock	optional	The rock forming the mountain, e. g. sandstone (Sandstein), basalt, etc.
ALTER	Age	optional	The geological age of the rock, e. g. "Turonian".
LETZTE ERUPTION	Last eruption	optional	The last volcanic eruption (only for volcanos).
ERSTBESTEIGUNG	First climbed	optional	Date and individual(s) who first climbed the summit. People may be linked.
ERSCHLIESSUNG	Access	optional	Man-made access to or on the mountain e. g. construction of a cable car, an observation tower, etc.
NORMALWEG	Normal route	optional	Entry for the normal route to the top e. g. "South arete" with details of the Alpine level of difficulty. Can be given as e. g. "Hike"
BESONDERHEITEN	Remarks	optional	Additional remarks or features e. g. "Highest mountain in the Eifel"
BILD1 bis BILD5	Image1 to Image5	optional	Optional images added below the infobox
BILD1-BREITE bis BILD5-BREITE	Image1 width to Image2 width	optional	The width of the images BILD1 to BILD5 above; defaults to `324x300px`. See remarks for main image above.
BILD1-BESCHREIBUNG bis BILD5-BESCHREIBUNG	Caption1 to Caption5	optional	Captions for the extra images
