This template can be used to add comparative, at-a-glance material to articles on lakes, oceans, bays, and similar water bodies.  If there is a single article for the reservoir and the dam, then please use the integrated  template, instead of this template.

Avoid using templates, boldface or italics in this field.  native_name   name in that country's official language(s), if other than English. – use  or, for multiple names, use   other_name Local, alternative or former names. Separate multiple values by using  or .  image characteristic_image.png Please avoid sunset pictures or maps (For maps, use image_bathymetry).If missing, the article is added to :Category:Articles using infobox body of water without imagesee also: Wikipedia:WikiProject Lakes/Galleries  alt Alt text describing the image, for visually impaired readers and other applications where the image cannot be seen. If image is present and this field is empty, the article is placed in :Category:Articles using infobox body of water without alt  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)If missing, the article is placed in :Category:Articles using infobox body of water without image bathymetry  alt_bathymetry Alt text for the bathymetry (or other) image.If image bathymetry is present and this field is empty, the article is placed in :Category:Articles using infobox body of water without alt bathymetry  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.  group Group of lakes that this body of water belongs to (e.g., Lake Erie is part of the Great Lakes)  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 coordinatesSample coordinates: If missing, the article is placed in :Category:Articles using infobox body of water without coordinates  type type of body of water / type of lake. If it's a reservoir, add "[[reservoir]]".For typologies of lakes, see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Lakes/Archive_1#Lake_types and Lake#Types of lakesSamples 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:   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:   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:   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:  this renders as:   depth Average depth of the body of water in metres, fathoms, and/or feetSample conversion for imperial units:  this renders as:   max-depth Maximum depth of the body of water in metres, fathoms, and/or feet.Sample value:   volume total volume of the body of water (cubic metres, cubic kilometres, cubic miles [cu mi], and/or acre-feet)Sample value: 11.8 km³To convert acre-feet, use  this renders as   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:   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:   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. sections trenches benches  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  format. An existing list of map names can be found via :Template:Location_map/List. If missing, the article is placed in :Category:Articles using infobox body of water without pushpin map  pushpin_label_position Location of the label to the pushpin. One of "left", "right", "top", or "bottom".  pushpin_map_alt Pushpin map alt text. If pushpin map is present and this field is empty, the article is placed in :Category:Articles using infobox body of water without pushpin map alt  pushpin_map_caption Pushpin map caption.  module Use to embed another infobox. See Firth of Tay for an example.   Imperial units should be converted to metric units, preferably using , e.g.  this renders as    Tracking categories  There are several tracking categories for maintenance of articles using this infobox:    – if image is missing   – if image alt text is missing   – if bathymetry image is missing   – if bathymetry image is present, but bathymetry image alt text is missing   – if no pushpin map is present   – if pushpin map is present, but alt text is missing   – if coordinates are missing   – if specific fields are missing, or included, see category description   - if  is not used for measurement fields   – if specific duplicate fields are used   - if an unknown parameter is present in the infobox template   - when shortdesc is auto-generated The categories are hidden, i.e. they are not visible in the standard display of the articles (see WP:Hidden categories).
