This is a guide for using wikitext to properly display elevation. Elevation should most commonly be displayed in both meters (metres) and international feet, with metric elevation displayed first for most areas, but elevation in feet displayed first for Liberia, the United States, or a U.S. territory.[a] The International 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 All elevations are now calculated from a geoid, so the outdated phrase "above mean sea level" should not be used.
Cite error: There are <ref group=lower-alpha>

templates on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=lower-alpha}}
template or {{notelist}}
template (see the help page).
