Template:River succession templates doc

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:

Usage: the template should be added to the "progression" field of Infobox river (for example: " | progression = "). 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 the correct tributaries category. In this case the category is. For more information about these categories see Category doc drainage basin, or ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rivers.

 * REder:
 * PEder: Eder→
 * PFulda: Fulda→
 * PWeser: Weser→ North Sea
