Template:Infobox river/Fluss

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Use

This template, {{Infobox river/Fluss}}, enables data on rivers imported from German Wikipedia (using Infobox Fluss) to be translated and displayed in English Wikipedia, using {{Infobox river}}. This saves the enormous amount of work otherwise entailed in translating parameters and data into en.wiki templates. Some of this translation involves technical terms that may not be obvious to some translators. In addition, en.wiki templates are not capable of displaying all the information provided here.

When translating an article from German Wikipedia, just import the infobox and translate any free text. It is worth previewing the result first as data in several parameters will be automatically translated if recognised; otherwise it defaults to the entered text. This feature is being enhanced continually. Blank parameters are ignored. The parameter text is shown below; their use is explained in the Parameters section. (to follow)

The display of coordinates has now been automated.
