Parameter

Description
|
name
|
Name of the valley. If more than one valley by the name exists, the article is likely disambiguated but this name in the infobox should be the undisambiguated name.
|
other_name
|
Other name for the valley if relatively well known. Quotes can be used as normal to italicize or bold the text if desired.
|
photo
|
Photograph of the valley. Preferably a distance shot to show most/all of the valley. Do not include the "File:" prefix. If uploading a new image, please put them on Commons so they can be easily used by the other language Wikipedias.
|
photo_size
|
Specify the width of the photo in pixels. For example photo_size = 200 with no "px". If no value is specified, the default width is 288 pixels. A standard horizontal photographic composition will generally display well at 288px. A standard vertical composition may need to be adjusted to 180 or 220 pixels.
|
photo_alt
|
Alt text for the photo, primarily for visually impaired readers. See Wikipedia:Alternative text for images.
|
photo_caption
|
Description of the photograph which is displayed below.
|
elevation
|
Elevation of the valley floor. Metres should be used first for all valleys outside of the United States and feet for those within the U.S. For conversions, use elevation_m for metres to feet or elevation_ft for feet to metres.
|
elevation_ref
|
Reference for the elevation using the standard <ref> </ref> tags. If elevation_m/elevation_ft was used, the reference must be supplied using this parameter.
|
location
|
Province or state first, followed by country. For USA, the county is optional but if given, be provided before the state. If a pushpin map is being used, the location will be used for the map's caption unless the map_caption parameter is set.
|
direction
|
The direction of the longer axis of the valley
|
length
|
The length of the valley, measured along the longer axis. Use {{convert}} for both metric and US units.
|
width
|
The width of the valley, measured along the shorter axis. Use {{convert}} for both metric and US units.
|
area
|
The area of the valley. Use {{convert}} for both metric and US units.
|
depth
|
The depth of the valley (from rim to floor).
|
type
|
The geological type of valley (e.g., glacial)
|
age
|
The age of the rocks of the valley walls
|
boundaries
|
Geographic features that are immediately adjacent to the valley.
|
map
|
The name of a location map as per Template:Location map (e.g. Indonesia or Russia). The coordinate fields (e.g. lat_d and long_d) position a pushpin coordinate marker and label on the map automatically.
|
label
|
Label to be used for the valley's location on the map. If not specified, the value of the name parameter is used.
|
label_position
|
The position of the label on the pushpin map relative to the pushpin coordinate marker. Valid options are {left, right, top, bottom, none}. If this field is not specified, the default value is right.
|
map_alt
|
Alt text for the map, primarily for visually impaired readers. See Alt text for maps.
|
map_caption
|
Fill out if a map caption is desired. If not specified, location will be used.
|
relief
|
If a location map template is specified, relief=1 will attempt to display a relief map if one is available. To force the default map image to display use |map_relief=0 .
|
map_size
|
Must be entered as only a number—no need for px. The default value is 250.
|
lat_d
|
Latitude degrees. Can also be used for decimal degrees.
|
lat_m
|
Latitude minutes.
|
lat_s
|
If known, latitude seconds.
|
lat_NS
|
N for North; S for South.
|
long_d
|
Longitude degrees. Can also be used for decimal degrees.
|
long_m
|
Longitude minutes.
|
long_s
|
If known, longitude seconds.
|
long_EW
|
E for East; W for West.
|
x y
|
Specifies the position of the location marker when the X,Y method for map display is used. The coordinates of the marker in pixels based on a map width of 1000 pixels. The template will scale these values for proper display. See {{Infobox map}} for further details.
|
region
|
Either a two character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or an ISO 3166-2 region code. See region.
|
source
|
The source of the coordinate data. See source.
|
coordinates
|
The latitude and longitude of the summit using the {{coord}} template with display=inline,title. If the article uses a geolinks template in the external links section, do not use the display parameter. Note that using lat_d and long_d will cause this parameter to be ignored.
|
coordinates_ref
|
For any references regarding the coordinates reported. <ref> </ref> tags must be used.
|
topo
|
The name of the topographic map showing the valley. In Canada, this is usually the National Topographic System map number while for the USA, it's the map name from the USGS.
|
towns
|
Population centers within the valley
|
traversed
|
Road or trails that cross or run through the valley
|
watercourses
|
Rivers that flow into or along the bottom of the valley
