nickname	Local name(s) for the river. Use commas to enter multiple.
name_etymology or etymology	Person, event or other entity the body is named after
image	Image filename without the File: or Image: prefix.

map_caption	Caption for the map image.
map_alt	Alt text for the map image.
pushpin_map	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
pushpin_map_caption	Caption for the location map
pushpin_map_alt	Alt text for the location map image.
pushpin_map_relief	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	Other types of political subdivisions.
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.
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.
river_system or parent	Name of the river system.
basin_landmarks or landmark	Popular landmarks along the river. Use commas for multiple.
basin_population	Population within the river basin.
basin_size	Size of the river's drainage basin. Consider using {{Convert|1234|km2|mi2|abbr=on}}
tributaries_left	Tributaries located on the left bank of the river flowing towards the mouth. List in order from source to mouth.
tributaries_right	Tributaries located on the right bank of the river flowing towards the mouth. List in order from source to mouth.
waterbodies	Water bodies located along the river (such as lakes, reservoirs, etc). List in order from source to mouth.
waterfalls	Waterfalls along the river. List in order from source to mouth.
bridges	Bridges along the river. List in order from source to mouth.
ports	Inland ports along the river. List in order from source to mouth.
city or cities	Cities along the river. List in order from source to mouth. Use city or cities, not both.
custom_label	Use this to enter a custom label (such as bridges). To be used with the field below.
custom_data	Custom data parameter. See above.
extra	Use this parameter to add content to the very bottom of the infobox. Useful for adding maps, charts, and so on.
