ਫਰਮਾ:Infobox dam/Stausee/doc

Purpose

This infobox automatically translates and displays dam and reservoir information transferred from German Wikipedia as part of de:Vorlage:Infobox Stausee and, in doing so, greatly simplifies and speeds up the transfer of knowledge and translation of articles between the two Wikipedias.

The alternative is to laboriously copy the source text from either one or both of two separate en.wiki infoboxes (one for dams and one for lakes/reservoirs), then transfer the data from the de.wiki infobox, line-by-line, into the en.wiki ones. As well as being time-consuming, the end result is messy and incomplete because there is no one-to-one mapping of fields in many cases and no equivalent field at all for others.

Use

The infobox does not distinguish between type and purpose and may be used for all dams dammed lakes and reservoirs. In doing so, not all fields will always be relevant and may be simply left blank.

Please note that the infobox becomes more and more unwieldy, the longer the table is, so try to differentiate between important and unimportant information! Consider what the uninformed ready can glean from facts and figures alone and what needs to be explained in detail in the text!

It is not the intent that the dimensions given for a dam can be used to produce a technical drawing but that they can give an impression of its size. Choose a reference dimension and then describe the design or construction principles of the dam in the text. The data for volume and surface area of the reservoir are exclusively based on the Stauziel (Vollstau) or maximum capacity. Explain the dam regime in the text. The construction time is exactly that. Give timescales for planning or refurbishment periods in the text.

The infobox is not suitable for describing hydropower stations.

Note: use the {{Convert}} template in the respective fields for converting meters to feet, m³ to acre feet, etc. Otherwise, just add the abbreviated metric unit (m³, Mm³) in the infobox field.

General source text

Most German dam and reservoir articles will already have the source text below at the start of the article. Please note that the BREITENGRAD and LÄNGENGRAD fields used for display coordinates in German Wikipedia will not display as they have been removed from the template. This is because the de.wiki 'Coord' template is not compatible with the en.wiki version. The method for displaying coordinates is covered below.

Explanation of the parameters

Important: Empty fields will be omitted from the infobox, i. e. leave out missing or irrelevant data and the field will not be displayed. The units under Type do not have to be entered, but it will not harm if they are.

Variable	Displays as	Type	Explanation
NAME			Name of the dam or reservoir. If the article name is to be used automatically, the line |Name= must be removed.
NEBENBOX		(any value)	By setting this parameter the presence of article sections, such as coordinates elsewhere in the article outside the box, can be suppressed for the whole box. This is needed if more than one box is used in an article. All boxes bar one must be marked with NEBENBOX.
BILD			A photograph of the reservoir or a location map, without entering Bild: in front and without any formatting
BILD-BREITE			The width of the image (BILD); the default is 290px
BILDBESCHREIBUNG			The caption for the main image (BILD)
Geography
GEO-LAGE	Coordinates:		deprecated: Geographical coordinates of the reservoir.
BREITENGRAD, LÄNGENGRAD and REGION-ISO	not used		In de.wiki used for geographical coordinates of the reservoir. Not used in en.wiki.
COORD	Coordinates		The coordinates of the dam or reservoir. This parameter is not in the de.wiki template and must be added for the coordinates to be displayed. Data must be entered in the normal en.wiki format e.g. {{coord|50|32|28|N|11|6|19|E|type:waterbody_region:DE|display=inline,title}}
HÖHE-BEZUG			For a description see Template:Höhe; it may be used for KRONENHOEHE and STAUZIEL
LAGE	Location		Description of the location of the reservoir (e.g. a state or region)
ZUFLUSS	Headwaters		The streams and rivers flowing into the reservoir
ABFLUSS	Tailwaters		The streams and rivers flowing out of the reservoir
UFERSTADT	Main lakeside towns		The larger towns on the shores of the reservoir
