Help:Elevation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This help page is ahow-to guide.
It explains concepts or processes used by the Wikipedia community. It is not one ofWikipedia's policies or guidelines, and may reflect varying levels ofconsensus.

This is a guide for usingwikitext to properly displayelevation. Elevation should most commonly be displayed in bothmeters (metres) andinternational feet, with metric elevation displayed first for most areas, but elevation in feet displayed first forLiberia, theUnited States, or aU.S. territory.[a] TheInternational System of Units symbol "m" is usually preferred to either "meters" or "metres" spelled out. Feet may either be spelled out or use the standard symbol "ft". All elevations are now calculated from ageoid, so the outdated phrase "above mean sea level" should not be used.

Metric elevation

[edit]

Metric elevation should be displayed first for areas not exclusively within the United States or Liberia.

Inline elevation

[edit]
  • Precise inline elevations in meters can usewikitext like "an elevation of {{convert|491|m|0|abbr=in}}" to display "an elevation of 491 m (1,611 feet)."
  • Less precise inline elevations in meters can use wikitext like "an elevation of about {{convert|500|m|abbr=in}}" to display "an elevation of about 500 m (1,600 feet)."
  • To use an elevation in meters as an adverb, use wikitext like "the {{convert|4805.59|m|0|abbr=in|adj=on}} summit" to display "the 4,805.59 m (15,766-foot) summit."

Elevation in feet

[edit]

Elevation in feet should be displayed first for areas solely within Liberia, the United States, or a U.S. territory.

Inline elevation

[edit]
  • Inline elevations in feet[b][c][d] can use wikitext like "an elevation of {{convert|292|ft|0}}" to display "an elevation of 292 feet (89 m)."
  • Precise inline elevations in meters (such as those from aNational Geodetic Survey data sheet) should use wikitext like "an elevation of {{convert|4401.2|m|0|order=flip}}" to display "an elevation of 14,440 feet (4,401.2 m)."
  • To use an elevation in feet as an adverb, use wikitext like "the {{convert|14271|ft|0|adj=on}} summit" to display "the 14,271-foot (4,350 m) summit."

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^Although theinternational foot is the primary unit of length in theUnited States, theU.S. National Geodetic Survey, theUnited States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and theUnited States Geological Survey use theInternational System of Units for all precision measurements.
  2. ^TheGeographic Names Information System (GNIS) displays elevations in bothmeters andinternational feet. All GNIS elevations are rounded to the nearest whole meter. Elevations in international feet are created by dividing the elevation in meters by 0.3048 and rounding to the nearest whole international foot. This means that GNIS elevations in international feet will skip values which do not correspond to a whole meter, e.g., from 30 m (98 feet) to 31 m (102 feet).
  3. ^TheGeographic Names Information System (GNIS) will have two separate feature listings for apopulated place that is also a civil entity, e.g., amunicipality or acensus-designated place. The feature listing for a populated place will usually focus on the community center, while the feature listing for a civil entity will usually focus on thecentroid of the entity. In some cases, these two locations may be a significant distance and elevation apart. For example, the GNIS gives the location of the populated place ofLos Angeles, California as34°03′08″N118°14′37″W / 34.0522342°N 118.2436849°W /34.0522342; -118.2436849 (Los Angeles, California) at an elevation of 292 feet (89 m), while it gives the location of theCity of Los Angeles, California as 18.58 miles (29.90 km) away at34°09′41″N118°32′24″W / 34.1613851°N 118.5399543°W /34.1613851; -118.5399543 (City of Los Angeles, California) at an elevation of 837 feet (255 m). In this particular case, the populated place listing is much more representative of the city.
  4. ^TheUnited States Census Bureau provides precise centroids for the census geometries calculated for eachdecennial census. TheUnited States Geological SurveyElevation Point Query Service (EPQS) can be used to find the approximate elevation of a geographic coordinate location.
