Obsolete templates

The template is designed as a one line replacement for various templates. It makes the following redundant:

• Template:River item line
• Template:River island start
• Template:River bridge start
• Template:River bridge line
• Template:River item line X
• Template:River lock start
• Template:River lock line PL
• Template:River lock start PL

Extended table

It is possible to generate a block of these templates using the option |table=. The first call uses |table=start; any middle ones use |table=middle; and the final one uses |table=end. See examples.

River junction

Where there is a river junction upstream the options |upstream2 = and |upsub2 = can be used. See examples.
