Parameters

name

name of the body of water. Avoid using templates, boldface or italics in this field.

native_name

name in local language. If more than one, separate using {{Plain list}}

native_name_lang

ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} instead

other_name

Local, alternative or former names. Separate multiple values by using {{plainlist}} or {{unbulleted list}}.

image

characteristic_image.png Please avoid sunset pictures or maps (For maps, use image_bathymetry).
If missing, the article is added to Category:Wikipedia infobox body of water articles without image
see also: Wikipedia:WikiProject Lakes/Galleries

alt

Alt text describing the image, for visually impaired readers and other applications where the image cannot be seen

caption

Text about the image; avoid repeating the name of the body of water, it's already in the first field of the infobox.

image_bathymetry

bathymetry_image.png (or other image, avoid maps showing only the location of the body of water)

alt_bathymetry

Alt text for the bathymetry (or other) image

caption_bathymetry

Text about the bathymetry (or other) image

location

Text about the body of water's location. Note the town/state/region in which the body water is located. Names are listed in wikified form, without flags.
Add the country only if the body of water is located in several countries or if there are several basin countries, but only one country in which the body of water is located.

coordinates

Latitude and Longitude coordinates of the body of water. It is common to use the approximate center of the body of water, or simply any notable portion of the body of water, for the coordinates. Coordinates are generally displayed in the infobox and on the top corner of the articles. For more, see WP:GEO and WP:Obtaining geographic coordinates
Sample coordinates: {{coord|47|01|10|N|8|24|04|E}}
If missing, the article is placed in Category:Wikipedia infobox body of water articles without coordinates

type

type of lake. If it's a reservoir, add "[[reservoir]]".
For typologies, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lakes#Lake types and Lake#Types of lakes
Samples values with wikimarkup (only one or a few may apply): [[periglacial]], [[subglacial lake]], [[artificial lake]] [[reservoir (water)|reservoir]], [[endorheic]], [[meromictic]], [[oxbow lake]], [[rift lake]], [[underground lake]], [[crater lake]], [[intermittent lake]], [[:Category:Former lakes|former lake]], [[:Category:Shrunken lakes|shrunken lake]]; [[oligotrophic]], [[mesotropic]], [[eutrophic lake]], [[hypertrophic]]

part_of

name of any parent basin or hydrology system

etymology

person, event or other entity the body is named after

inflow

major inflow sources — rivers, aquifers, glacial runoff, etc.
Use italics for any terms that are not place names, e.g. none

outflow

outflow waterway names.
If evaporation or seepage are notable outflows, they may be included.
Use italics for any terms that are not place names, e.g. evaporation

catchment

the area of catchment (in square kilometres) which includes the entire area of the drainage basin for that body of water. This may include rivers and other bodies of water. If this can be accompanied with a map or drawing, include it with the article.
Sample value: {{convert|2124|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}

basin_countries

which countries have drainage to/from or border the body of water. To conform a standard, this should include all countries that are directly involved with the body of water's ecology; this would include inflows, outflows, or physically contact the body of water.
Countries are listed in unwikified form, without flags. For Antarctica, use "(Antarctica)".

agency

managing or owning organisation

designation

protected status as a nature reserve, etc.

date-built

date construction the body of water/reservoir started, if man-made.

date-flooded

date the body of water/reservoir was first flooded, if man-made or otherwise recent.

length

maximum length of the body of water in km, statute mile, and/or nautical miles; the length of the body of water at its longest dimension.
Sample value: {{convert|100|km|mi|abbr=on}}

width

maximum width of the body of water in km, statute mile, and/or nautical miles; perpendicular to the angle used to calculate length.
Sample value: {{convert|50|km|mi|abbr=on}}

min_width

minimum width of the strait in km, statute mile, and/or nautical miles; perpendicular to the angle used to calculate length. Note: do not use this parameter for lakes, bays, or other bodies of water.

area

total area of the body of water's surface in square kilometres, square miles, acres, or hectares; if this value varies drastically (due to evaporation or changes in flow), attempt to find a documented average value.
Sample conversion for imperial units: {{convert|1234|acre|abbr=on}} this renders as: 1,234 acres (499 ha)

depth

Average depth of the body of water in metres, fathoms, and/or feet
Sample conversion for imperial units: {{convert|123|ft|abbr=on}} this renders as: 123 ft (37 m)

max-depth

Maximum depth of the body of water in metres, fathoms, and/or feet.
Sample value: 10 metres (33 ft)

volume

total volume of the body of water (cubic metres, cubic kilometres, cubic miles [cu mi], and/or acre-feet)
Sample value: 11.8 km³
To convert acre-feet, use {{convert|1234567|acre.ft|abbr=on}} this renders as 1,234,567 acre⋅ft (1.522816×10⁹ m³)

residence_time

residence time of the body of water or lake retention time (generally in years). This is the mean time water spends in the body of water.

shore

length of the shoreline in kilometres and statute miles; this should not include values for waterways directly connected to the body of water, and should reflect the shore at average surface area.
Sample value: {{convert|75|km|mi}}

elevation

elevation above sea-level in meters; again, if this value varies due to variable inflow or outflow, attempt to use a documented average value. If at all possible, state the date at which the elevation was measured.
Sample value: {{convert|150|m|ft|abbr=on}}

islands

total number of islands in the body of water; it is common practice to also include the names of any notable islands in the body of water.

islands_category

if there is a specific category for articles about islands in the body of water, it can be added in this field (e.g., Islands of the Caspian Sea, Category:Lake islands or Category:Islands by ocean or sea). "Islands" in the infobox then links to one of these categories instead of Category:Islands by body of water.

cities

notable cities or settlements on or near the shore of the body of water.

frozen

Information about freezing: e.g. usual freezing date, months the body of water is frozen, last years the body of water was frozen, never, etc.

reference

references for some or all of the values. Rather than including full references in any of the previous fields, <ref name ="multiple"> and </ref> should be used in this field and cross-referenced in the other fields with <ref name ="multiple"/>. See Help:Footnotes on how to use the tags.

align

"align =left" allows to align the infobox left (default is right). This avoids collision with another infobox.

pushpin_map

The name of a location map as per Template:Location map. Requires coordinates in |coordinates={{coord|...}} format.

pushpin_label_position

Location of the label to the pushpin. One of "left", "right", "top", or "bottom".

pushpin_map_alt

Pushpin map alt text.

pushpin_map_caption

Pushpin map caption.

Imperial units should be converted to metric units, preferably using {{convert}}, e.g. {{convert|1234|acre|abbr=on}} this renders as 1,234 acres (499 ha)

Tracking categories

There are several tracking categories for maintenance of articles using this infobox:

• Category:Wikipedia infobox body of water articles without image (3) – if image is missing
• Category:Wikipedia infobox body of water articles without coordinates (0) – if coordinates is missing
• Category:Wikipedia infobox body of water articles using duplicate parameters (0) – if specific duplicate fields are used
• Category:Wikipedia infobox body of water articles using deprecated parameters (0) – if purely numeric values are used with non-numeric fields
• Category:Wikipedia infobox body of water articles needing maintenance (0) – if specific fields are missing, or included, see category description
• Category:Pages using infobox body of water with deprecated parameters (0) – pages using |lake_name=, |image_lake=, |caption_lake= or |alt_lake=
• Category:Pages using infobox body of water with unknown parameters (2)

The categories are hidden, i.e. they are not visible in the standard display of the articles (see WP:Hidden categories).
