Parameters

Parameter name (Source name)	Description	Example
Top section
Image (`image`)	Any image on Coasterpedia can go here. Depending on availability, an image of the entire ride or the ride entrance is most suitable. Only the name of the file is required.	`Kingda Ka sign.jpg`
Image caption (`caption`)	Caption displayed below the image.	`Kingda Ka in 2005`
Video ID (`video`)	The ID of a Youtube video containing a POV of the roller coaster.	`i3V63P1dkCY <!-- Youtube video ID -->`
Class (`class`)	The classification of the coaster. Must be either "roller", "powered" or "alpine" for roller coasters, powered coasters and alpine coasters respectively. When ommitted, this defaults to "roller".	`roller`
General
Name (`name`)	Name of the roller coaster.	`Kingda Ka`
Park (`park`)	The amusement park in which the roller coaster is situated. If the roller coaster is travelling, leave blank.	`[[Six Flags Great Adventure]]`
Location (`location`)	The location and country in which the amusement park is situated. In almost all cases, this can be copied from RCDB.	`Jackson, New Jersey, USA`
Country (`country`)	The country in which the amusement park is situated. This is required to categorize the roller coaster by location and add the flag icon.	`USA`
State (`state`)	If the roller coaster is located in the United States, this parameter contains the full name of the state in which the amusement park is situated. Otherwise, remove this parameter.	`New Jersey`
Section (`section`)	Section or themed area within the park that this coaster is located	`Golden Kingdom`
Status (`status`)	The current status of the roller coaster. This parameter can contain anything, but the roller coaster will be auto-categorized if one of the following is entered: `operating`, `under construction`, `standing but not operating`, `in storage`, `defunct`, `planned`, `cancelled`, or `unknown`.	`operating`
Opening date (`opened`)	The date on which the roller coaster opened to the public for the first time. Format as "May 25, 2005" for American coasters, "25 May 2005" for all other coasters.	`May 25, 2005`
Closing date (`closed`)	The final date which the roller coaster operated to the public, not the day it was demolished.
Expected opening date (`opening`)	The planned opening date for a roller coaster that is under construction.
Cost (`cost`)	Costs of building the roller coaster. No specific layout is required so should be formatted as best for each ride and location.	`$25,000,000`
Soundtrack (`soundtrack`)	Information on the official soundtrack for this coaster.	`Yes, by IMAscore`
Theme (`theme`)	Theme of the ride.	`Haunted mansion`
Minimum rider height (`min_height`)	These parameters contain information about height restrictions. The units are inches for coasters within the US, and centimetres for coasters everywhere else. Input numbers only, the units will be added automatically. If there is no minimum height restriction, set `min_height` to `none`.	`32`
Minimum unaccompanied rider height (`min_unaccompanied_height`)		`54`
Maximum rider height (`max_height`)		`75`
Height restriction (`restriction`)	The height requirement to ride the roller coaster in inches and cm. Inches listed first on roller coasters in the United States. All other roller coasters to have cm listed first.	`54 inches (137 cm)`
Location history (`past-locations`)	Location history for the coaster. This parameter uses another template, as follows: {{past location \|name = \|park = \|location = \|country = \|opened = \|closed = \|cost = \|replaced = \|replacement = }} Use one copy of this template per relocation.
Statistics
System of measurement (`units`)	The measurement system entered into the infobox. Must be either "metric" or "imperial". For coasters in the United States, use imperial. For all other coasters, use metric.	`metric`
Unless noted otherwise, numbers in the following parameters are in the units chosen above in the System of measurement (`units`) parameter. Enter numbers only.
Manufacturer (`manufacturer`)	The three parameters manufacturer, builder and designer are somewhat ambiguous and interchangeable. In most cases, these are taken from RCDB. Generally, the manufacturer is the company who builds a steel coaster, the builder is the company who builds a wooden coaster and the designer has various meanings.	`[[Intamin]]`
Builder (`builder`)		`[[Martin & Vleminckx]]`
Designer / Calculations (`designer`)		`[[Werner Stengel]]`
Onsite construction (`construction`)	The company responsible for assembling the roller coaster.	`[[RCS GmbH]]`
Track material (`category1`)	This category is always `Steel` or `Wooden` and will auto-categorize the roller coaster.	`Steel`
Category 2 (`category2`)	The other four categories can contain anything, but should keep to existing categories as each entry will auto-categorize the roller coaster. For more information, see Coasterpedia:Guide to coaster types.	`Launched`
Category 3 (`category3`)		`Strata`
Category 4 (`category4`)
Category 5 (`category5`)
Category 6 (`category6`)
Track layout (`layout`)	Coasters can be sorted by layout, this can be both an "exact" layout (the coasters are identical) or a general one, like a Wild Mouse coaster. This parameter is optional, and may be one of the following: `cyclone`, `double figure 8`, `double out and back`, `figure-8`, `l-shaped out and back`, `out and back`, `oval`, `skyloop`, `terrain`, `wacky worm`, `zyklon40`.	`figure-8`
Product (`product`)	If the roller coaster is a mass-produced product, the product name goes here. Usually, this parameter refers to exact clones but products with varying track layouts can be entered too. Always use a wikilink, even if the article doesn't exist. Follow the standard format of `Product name (Manufacturer name product)`, omit the brackets if no other article shares the same title.	`[[Accelerator Coaster]]`
Length of plot (`dimension1`)	How large the roller coaster is on the x and y-axis (the z-axis is its height). In metres or feet.	`62.3`
Breadth of plot (`dimension2`)		`137.8`
Riders per train (`riders/train`)	How many riders each ride vehicle (train or car) can hold.	`18`
Hourly capacity (`riders/hour`)	The theoretical hourly capacity of the roller coaster, usually taken from RCDB.	`1400 riders per hour`

Length (`length`)	The total length of the track in metres or feet.	`3118`
Duration (`duration`)	The time taken from leaving the station to entering it again. This parameter is somewhat ambiguous however and is usually just copied from RCDB.	`0:28`
Inversions (`inversions`)	The number of times the track goes upside-down (not the rider). If the number of inversions in the track and the number experienced by the rider differs, both should be entered. Do not use this parameter on shuttle roller coasters with a different number of "track" and "rider" inversions, use the following two parameters instead.	`0`
Track inversions (`track_inversions`)	These two parameters are only used on shuttle roller coasters where the number of physical inversions in the track and the number of times riders go upside-down are different.	3
Rider inversions (`rider_inversions`		6
Steepest drop (`angle`)	The steepest angle at which riders drop at. Degrees symbol is added automatically.	`90`

Auto-categorisation

All categories are modified by the class category. If not present, the article is classed as a roller coaster. If present, |class=powered classes the article as a powered coaster and |class=alpine classes the article as an alpine coaster.

All articles which include this template are added to one of Category:Roller coasters by name, Category:Powered coasters by name, or Category:Alpine coasters by name, depending on the value of class.

The following parameters will auto-categorise the article (the following list assumes |class=roller):

country:
- Example: if |country=Netherlands, article is added to Category:Roller coasters in the Netherlands
state:
- Example: if |state=New Jersey, article is added to Category:Roller coasters in New Jersey (This overrides the country parameter)
status:
- If |status=operating, article is added to Category:Operating roller coasters
- If |status=defunct, article is added to Category:Defunct roller coasters
- If |status=under construction, article is added to Category:Under construction roller coasters
- If |status=in storage, article is added to Category:Dismantled roller coasters
- If |status=planned, article is added to Category:Planned roller coasters
- If |status=cancelled, article is added to Category:Cancelled roller coasters
- If |status=unknown, article is added to Category:Roller coasters whose status is unknown
category1, category2, category3, and category4
- Example: if |category1=Steel, article is added to Category:Steel roller coasters
