''N.B. Currently the stream order does not display properly as a technical change was made to the way categories sort which has inadvertently affected stream order syntax (see archived discussion [[Wikipedia talk:Categorization/Archive 16#Category sorting update|here]] so that they are now all listed under "0-9". If you have ideas for resolving this (other than reverting the technical change which is now set in stone), please discuss them at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rivers]].''

Template:Category doc drainage basin is a sub-category of Category:Drainage basins and part of WP:WikiProject Rivers.

Content

  • This category is intended for all waterbodies (i.e. rivers, lakes, canals, marshes, etc.) that form part of the drainage basin of the main river.
To search geographically, use the Category:Rivers by country and Category:Rivers by continent.

Key

  • Direct and indirect tributaries are grouped in subcategories, for instance the category [[Category:Prut basin]] contains a subcategory [[Category:Tributaries of the Prut]]. The main river heads the list, for example: [[Category:Prut basin| ]] is added to the article "Prut".
  • Other waterbodies are grouped as follows: "0" is used for branches of a delta, old river branches, backwaters, braided streams, anabranches, and rivers that flow directly into sea. "B" is for bogs and swamps, "C" for canals and other artificial waterways, "L" for lakes and lochs, "G" for glaciers, "R" for reservoirs and artificial ponds, "S" for springs, and "W" for waterfalls, e.g. [[Category:Elbe basin|LAmselsee]] for the Amselsee.
