Field	Description
Name	Name of the glacier. Try to use the English name if possible, but do not used 'forced' translations of standard non-English names such as Schneefeld or Firn.
Also known as	Local names of the glacier. If possible try to include the language of the foreign name.
Photo	Photograph of the glacier. Preferably a distance shot to show most/all of the glacier and the surroundings.
Caption	Description of the photograph which is displayed below. Include the month and year if known.
Type	The glacier type. Glacierology is a complex and ambiguous science. Several types and subtypes exist, but most of the glacier will be either Valley Glacier (long and narrow) or Mountain Glacier (short, wide and round). Leave this field blank if unsure.
Valley	The valley where the glacier smelt eventually ends up.
Location	Country where the glacier is located. This value gets automatically extracted using the Location_sub parameter.
Location_sub	Any useful subdivision of the country that is applicable (for example a state or a canton). For example: Valais
Location_sub2	Glaciers are often located on the border of countries or cantons/departments. The second subdivision can be specified here.
Range	Mountain range if applicable. The specific range subgroup should be provided instead of any major mountain system unless there is no applicable subgroup. For example, use Teton Range and not Rocky Mountains or Bernese Alps not Alps.
Elevation	The elevation of the lowest point of the glacier above mean sea level. Use the following format: 8,888 m. The template will automatically convert the altitude.
Length	The length of the glacier. Use the following format: 10 km. The template will automatically convert.
Surface	The surface of the glacier. Use the following format: 20 km2. The template will automatically convert.
Speed	The speed by which the glacier is moving forward. Use the following format: 20 m/y or 20 meter/year. The template will automatically convert.
Thickness	The thickness of the glacier. Use the following format: 100 m. The template will automatically convert.
latd	Latitude degrees. Can also be used for decimal degrees
latm	Latitude minutes.
lats	If known latitude seconds.
latNS	N for North; S for South.
longd	Longitude degrees. Can also be used for decimal degrees
longm	Longitude minutes.
longs	If known longitude seconds.
longEW	E for East; W for West.
Nearby Features	This list is automatically generated by comparing the DMS coordinates of the glacier with other subjects in Mount Wiki. Everything within 3km is listed alphabetically in the list. The list is generated by the Template:Get_Neighbours template.
Topographic map	The name of the topographic map showing the glacier. In Switzerland the LSK map templates can be used for example {{1348}} will generate 1348 Zermatt.
Topographic map2	The name of the topographic map showing the glacier. In Switzerland the LSK map templates can be used for example {{1348}} will generate 1348 Zermatt.
pushpin_map	The name of a location map as per Template:Location map (eg. Switzerland or Italy). The coordinate fields (eg. latd and longd) position a pushpin coordinate marker and label on the map automatically. Example see: Monte Rosa Hut.
pushpin_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 bottom.
Q	The quality of the page. Choose between: Stub, Start, Good or Perfect according to the quality guidelines.
