Parameters
| 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 English name for the valley if relatively well known. |
| native_name | non-English name of valley (if not main name) – use {{native name}} or, for multiple names, use {{native name list}}
|
| translation | Translation of native name (if not main name) |
| 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. |
| map | The name of a location map as per Template:Location map (e.g. Indonesia or Russia). The coordinates in the coordinates field will be used to position a pushpin coordinate marker and label on the map automatically. To use a static image, use |map_image=
|
| map_image | The file name of a static map image to be displayed. To use a location map, use |map=.
|
| map_size | Must be entered as only a number—no need for px. The default value is 250. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| country country1,country2,... |
One or more countries that the valley lies in |
| region region1,region2,... |
One or more regions (e.g., deserts) that the valley lies in |
| district district1,district2,... |
One or more districts (e.g., U.S. counties) that the valley lies in |
| city city1,city2,... |
One or more population centers within the valley |
| 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.
|
| 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. |
| coordinates | The latitude and longitude of the valley 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. |
| coordinates_ref | For any references regarding the coordinates reported. <ref> </ref> tags must be used. |
| 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. |
| length length_mi,length_km |
The length of the valley, measured along the longer axis. Use {{convert}} for both metric and US units, or use length_mi or length_km for autoconversion. |
| length_orientation | The orientation of the longer axis of the valley (e.g., N-S) |
| length_note | Any notes on the length (e.g., a reference) |
| width width_mi,width_km |
The width of the valley, measured along the shorter axis. Use {{convert}} for both metric and US units, or use width_mi or width_km for autoconversion. |
| width_orientation | The orientation of the shorter axis of the valley |
| width_note | Any notes on the width (e.g., a reference) |
| area area_mi2,area_km2 |
The area of the valley. Use {{convert}} for both metric and US units, or use area_mi2 or area_km2 for autoconversion. |
| depth depth_ft,depth_m |
The depth of the valley (from rim to floor). Use {{convert}} for both metric and US units, or use depth_ft or depth_m for autoconversion. |
| type | The geological type of valley (e.g., glacial) |
| age | The age of the rocks of the valley walls |
| border border1,border2,... |
One or more geographic features that are immediately adjacent to the valley. |
| 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. |
| traversed | Road or trails that cross or run through the valley |
| river river1,river2,... |
One or more rivers that flow into or along the bottom of the valley |
| footnotes | References to support the infobox information |
| embed | "yes" if the valley infobox is embedded inside another Infobox |

Mapframe maps
- Basic parameters:
- mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: yes, unless one of these parameters has a value:
|map=,|map_image=,|image_map=,|relief=. - mapframe-caption – Caption for the map. Default: blank (or if
|mapframe-geomask=is set, "Location in geomask's label") - mapframe-custom – Use a custom map instead of the automatic mapframe. Specify either a
{{maplink}}template, or another template that generates a mapframe map, or an image name. If used, the subsequent mapframe parameters will be ignored. Default: not specified - mapframe-id or id or qid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
- mapframe-coordinates or mapframe-coord or coordinates or coord – Coordinates to use, instead of any on Wikidata. Use the {{Coord}} template, e.g.
|coord=. Default: coordinates from Wikidata{{Coord|12.34|N|56.78|E}} - mapframe-wikidata – Set to
yesto show shape/line features from the wikidata item, if any, when|coord=is set. Default: yes, unless one of these parameters has a value:|mapframe-coordinates=,|mapframe-coord=,|coordinates=,|coords=
- mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: yes, unless one of these parameters has a value:
- Customise which features are displayed:
- mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to
none. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting toinverse. Default: not specified - mapframe-point – Turn off display of point feature by setting to
none. Force point marker to be displayed by setting toon. Default: not specified - mapframe-line – Turn off display of line feature by setting to
none. Default: not specified - mapframe-geomask – Wikidata item to use as a geomask (everything outside the boundary is shaded darker). Can either be a specific Wikidata item (Q-number), or a property that specifies the item to use (e.g.
P17for country (P17),P131for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: not specified - mapframe-switcher – set to
autoorgeomasksorzoomsto enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specifiedauto– switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.geomasks– switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameterzooms– switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of3), "zoomed out" is1, and "zoomed midway" is the average

- mapframe-zoom – Set the zoom level, from "1" (map of earth) to "18" (maximum zoom in), to be used if the zoom level cannot be determined automatically from object length or area. Default: 10
