Hello and welcome to WikiProject Hiking trails! This Wikiproject's goal is to establish a standard infobox and create/edit articles on hiking trails and trail systems throughout the world. Eventually, this project will help inform others on hiking trails worldwide and the work done to maintain them.
This WikiProject covers all trails built at least for the purpose of hiking.
The parent of this WikiProject is the WikiProject Geography.
No descendant WikiProjects have been defined.

New users are always welcome! Feel free to add your name below or simply sign using by typing four tildes (~~~~).
{{ Infobox trail}} is used for all articles within WikiProject Hiking trails; information is provided below in the Template section.
The body of the article should try to provide the following information:
After creating or editing an article, add it to the relevant section on List of long-distance footpaths. If there is an article containing a list of hiking trails for a particular area where the trail runs, add the new entry to that list.
A general assessment of the importance of trails:
If an article is added or edited to the project, please also add it to the relevant categories: (e.g. Category:Hiking trails, Category:Hiking trails in North America, Trails in Ithaca, New York).
If five articles on hiking trails in a particular country, continent, or specific area are available, please create a category to link them together (e.g. Category:Trails in France)
The current categorization framework is as follows:
{{ Infobox trail}} is the primary template to be used in articles about specific hiking trails or cycleways. The example on the right shows a good example of how a trail template is properly used.

designation | Any designation which the trail has received e.g. UK National Trail or U.S. National Scenic Trail. |
established | Establishment date |
elev_gain_and_loss | The elevation gain and/or loss e.g. "{{convert|300|m|ft|-1}} gain" or "{{convert|300|m|ft|-1}} gain in; {{convert|100|m|ft|-1}} gain out". Please express the gain or loss in meters or feet, not kilometers or miles. |

elev_change_ft | |
elev_change_m | |

map_alt | Alt text for map |
map_caption | Caption for map |
route | Map of the trail, if a route diagram template |
route_state | Collapsed state of route map |
The trail infobox can be embedded inside another infobox for seamless display of info. For example, a trail that is also a protected area, such as the Kal-Haven Trail. See the testcases for more examples.
The trail infobox can only be inserted after certain field values of the parent template. Specifically, only after fields whose values are not passed to another template by the parent templates source code. In other words, the parent templates source code for the field has to output the fields' value without passing it to a template. This may require examining the parent templates source code. It is ok to insert after field values that contain internal [[]]
and external links []
.
Example:
{| style="float:right; clear:right; border:0; margin:-0.5em 0 0 0;"
|-
|{{Infobox protected area
| name = Kal-Haven Trail
...
| governing_body = <div>[[Michigan Department of Natural Resources]]</div>
{{Infobox trail
| embed = yes
| cellstyle = padding:0.1em 0.3em;
| name = Kal-Haven Trail
| length = {{convert|34.5|mi|km|1}}
...
}}
}}
|}
Note the <div> tag surrounding the governing_body wiki link. It is needed to reduce the vertical spacing between the governing_body field and the first hiking trail field, in this case, length.
The parent infobox needs to be encapsulated in a table as in the above example.
{| style="float:right; clear:right; border:0; margin:-0.5em 0 0 0;"
|-

Field name | Description |

cellstyle |
