[edit] Ojos del Salado

This volcano appears in this article as in Chile, while in the Ojos del Salado article says it is in the border with Argentina. Is the submit of mountain/volcano completelly in Chile, and so here it's listed as only in Chile? If so, the article about the volcano should include that information. Otherwise, this article should be fixed. Mariano(t/c) 07:43, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

According to John Biggar, the "Chilean summit" is 54cm higher than the "Argentine summit", but I am not sure if either of these are on the actual border. But the mountain is in both countries. I will check the article and amend if necessary. This list has become an unstructured repository for everyone's favourite mountains, I do not watch it closely.

  • 8,000 to 5,000 metre tables are now standardized. The others to follow as time permits (others are most welcome to assist). RedWolf 06:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
  • The remaining sublists have been converted to the standardized sortable table format. I have removed the cleanup tag. RedWolf 05:22, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding a mountain

To add a mountain to one of the sections, make a copy of an existing line containing the {{mountain elev row}} template and paste it in the appropriate area of the list which is sorted by elevation in metres by default. The template takes four parameters:

  1. mountain name
  2. elevation in metres — do not use a comma oherwise you will see an expression error. The template will automatically add it. The template automatically adds a column for the equivalent elevation in feet.
  3. Mountain range (optional) and location
  4. An optional note (e.g. highest point in a country). Keep this brief as a long note can affect table layout.
