PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
| |
| length | The total length of the river's main stem. Consider using {{Convert|1234|km|mi|abbr=on}}
|
| width_min | Minimum width between banks of the river. Rarely used as it is often difficult to determine the exact source of the river. Consider using {{Convert|1234|m|ft|abbr=on}}
|
| width_avg | Average width of the river. Consider using {{Convert|1234|m|ft|abbr=on}}
|
| width_max | Maximum width of the river before the mouth. Consider using {{Convert|1234|m|ft|abbr=on}}
|
| depth_min | Minimum depth of the river. Rarely used as it is often difficult to determine the exact source of the river. Consider using {{Convert|1234|m|ft|abbr=on}}
|
| depth_avg | Average depth of the river. Consider using {{Convert|1234|m|ft|abbr=on}}
|
| depth_max | Maximum depth of the river before the mouth. Consider using {{Convert|1234|m|ft|abbr=on}}
|
| discharge1_location | Location or gauge/sensor name at which the below details are recorded. Commonly at the River mouth.
|
| discharge1_min | Minimum discharge rate. Rarely used. Consider using {{Convert|1234|m3/s|ft3/s|abbr=on}}
|
| discharge1_avg | Average discharge rate (also use if a source provides only one discharge rate without a minimum or maximum). Consider using {{Convert|1234|m3/s|ft3/s|abbr=on}}
|
| discharge1_max | Maximum discharge rate before flooding occurs in the surrounding areas. Consider using {{Convert|1234|m3/s|ft3/s|abbr=on}}
|
| discharge2_* ⇒ 5_* | Up to four more sets of discharge parameters. You may add up to discharge5_*.
|
BASIN FEATURES
| |
| source1 | Landform or waterbody of the primary source. For a source that is a confluence, you may add as: Confluence of [[River-A]] and [[River-B]].
|
| source1_location | Political details of the source location, such as Province, District, State, etc. |
| source1_elevation | Elevation at the main source of water |
| source1_coordinates | Coordinates of the main source, using the {{coord}} template. Use |display=inline only.
|
| source1_coord_ref | Reference for the coordinates of the main source. |
| source1_length | Length from the main source. |
| source2 ⇒ source5 | Landform or waterbody of further sources. You may add up to source5. Also source2_location, source2_elevation, source2_coordinates, source2_coord_ref, source2_length etc.
|
| mouth | Landform or waterbody of the river mouth. |
| mouth_location | Political details of the mouth location, such as Province, District, State, etc. |
| mouth_coordinates | Coordinates of the river mouth, using the {{coord}} template. Use |display=inline,title if possible.
|
| mouth_elevation | Elevation at the river mouth. |
| progression | Progression from the mouth of the river in the article to the sea. For example, the Pegnitz in Germany flows into the Regnitz, which flows into the Main, which flows into the Rhine, which flows into the North Sea. This is entered into the progression field with a special template {{RRegnitz}}, but could be hard-coded as [[Regnitz]]→ [[Main (river)|Main]]→ [[Rhine]]→ [[North Sea]]. These both render as Regnitz→ Main→ Rhine→ North Sea in the Infobox. See Category:Drainage basin succession templates for a list of templates that can be used with this parameter.

Name of the river system. |
| basin_landmarks or landmark |
