This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article.
The name of a location map to be used with {{location map}}, with the pin placed at the location specified by the mouth_coordinates parameter, or the value from wikidata if no mouth coordinates are provided. Manually add parameter pushpin_map_relief = 0 to disable the use of a relief location map.
pushpin_map_size
The width of the location map in pixels as a raw number, without any px suffix
A pushpin map will be displayed in relief by default. Use pushpin_map_relief = 0 for a plain map.
subdivision_type1
Primary political region(s), typically Country or Countries.
subdivision_name1
Used with above. The country/ies in which the river flows in/through. Use commas for multiple.
subdivision_type2
Secondary political region(s). States, Provinces, Districts, or Regions, in which the river flows through.
subdivision_name2
Used with above. The secondary political region(s) in which the river flows through. Use commas for multiple.
subdivision_type3
Tertiary political region(s), such as the Cities along the river.
subdivision_name3
Used with above. The tertiary political region(s) through which the river flows. Use commas for multiple.
subdivision_type4

subdivision_name4
Used with above. Other political subdivisions through which the river flows. Use commas for multiple.
subdivision_type5
Other types of political subdivisions.
subdivision_name5
Used with above. Other political subdivisions through which the river flows. Use commas for multiple.
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.
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 ਸ਼੍ਰੇਣੀ:Drainage basin succession templates for a list of templates that can be used with this parameter.
