Category:Rhine basin succession templates

The pages listed in this category are templates. This page is part of Wikipedia's administration and not part of the encyclopedia. Further template category notes This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces. To add a template to this category: If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add  [[Category:Rhine basin succession templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add  <noinclude>[[Category:Rhine basin succession templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

These templates are meant for use in {{Infobox river}}. They show the discharge route of rivers. For example, for the river Schwalm, which discharges into the Eder, the template {{PEder}} can be used. This gives the following output:

Eder→ Fulda→ Weser→ North Sea

Usage: the template should be added to the "progression" field of Infobox river (for example: "| progression = {{PEder}}"). There are two types of templates: the ones starting with "P" and the ones starting with "R". The ones starting with "R" (e.g. {{REder}}) call the corresponding "P" template, and in addition they categorize the article into a drainage basin category, with the correct sorting parameter. In this case the category is Category:Eder basin. For more information about these categories see {{Category doc drainage basin}}, or ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rivers.

Creating new templates: new template can be created similar to the existing ones. The codes of {{REder}} and its related templates are given below (template category <noinclude>[[Category:Weser basin succession templates]]</noinclude> omitted for clarity):

{{REder}}: {{PEder}}<includeonly>[[Category:Eder basin|1{{PAGENAME}}]]</includeonly>

{{PEder}}: [[Eder]]→ {{PFulda}}

{{PFulda}}: [[Fulda (river)|Fulda]]→ {{PWeser}}

{{PWeser}}: [[Weser]]→ [[North Sea]]
