قالب:Infobox glacier/doc

This template is part of the Glaciers WikiProject.

Example

The wikicode below will create the Infobox as shown:

{{Infobox glacier 
 | glacier_name = Gannett Glacier (Example)
 | image_name   = Gannet Peak with Gannett Glacier.jpg
 | caption      = Gannett Glacier on the north slope of [[Gannett Peak]]
 | type         = Mountain glacier
 | location     = [[Wyoming]], [[United States|U.S.]]
 | coordinates  = {{coor at dms|59|59|59|S|179|59|59|W|region:AQ_type:glacier}}
 | area         = 896 acres (3.63 km²)
 | length       = 
 | thickness    =
 | terminus     = Moraine
 | status       = Retreating
}}

Using the Template

{{Infobox glacier 
 | glacier_name = NAME
 | other_name   = ALTERNATIVE NAME (e.g., in other language)
 | image_name   = IMAGE_FILE_NAME
 | image_size   = SIZE OF IMAGE (in pixels, no need for px)
 | image_alt    = ALTERNATE TEXT FOR IMAGE
 | caption      = CAPTION FOR IMAGE
 | type         = TYPE 
 | location     = LOCATION
 | coordinates  = COORDINATES, alternatively:
 | lat_d = DEGREES | lat_m = MINUTES | lat_s = SECONDS | lat_NS = N OR S (NORTH OR SOUTH)
 | long_d = DEGREES | long_m = MINUTES | long_s = SECONDS | long_EW = E OR W (EAST OR WEST)
 | coordinates_ref = REFERENCE FOR COORDINATES (use <ref> tag)
 | map          = LOCATOR MAP NAME (see {{locator map}} for more info)
 | map_size     = SIZE OF MAP (in pixels, no need for px)
 | map_alt      = ALTERNATE TEXT FOR MAP
 | map_caption  = CAPTION FOR MAP (defaults to location)
 | area         = AREA
 | length       = KILOMETERS km (MILES mi)
 | thickness    = THICKNESS
 | terminus     = TERMINUS
 | status       = STATUS
}}

• Be sure to replace all of the words.
• Any of the items above can be safely left blank. Note that you may include an image with no caption, but a caption will not be shown if there is no image.
• Wiki links are fine in any of the Infobox fields.

Blank version

The following version is a blank that can be copied and pasted into articles. An example of how it may appear when most of the data is added is available at Gannett Glacier.

{{Infobox glacier 
 | glacier_name = 
 | other_name   =
 | image_name   = 
 | image_size   = 
 | image_alt    = 
 | caption      = 
 | type         = 
 | location     =
 | lat_d = | lat_m =  | lat_s =  | lat_NS = 
 | long_d = | long_m = | long_s = | long_EW = 
 | coordinates_ref = 
 | map          = 
 | map_size     = 
 | map_alt      = 
 | map_caption  = 
 | area         = 
 | length       = 
 | thickness    = 
 | terminus     = 
 | status       = 
}}

As a note of caution, don't forget that glaciers lying south of the equator and east of the Prime Meridian to the International Date Line will be "S" and "E" in the coordinates section.

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• agent
• category
• county-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• region
• street-address
• uid
• url
• vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

• geo
• latitude
• longitude

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

Precision

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
