Template:Dams and reservoirs

Initial visibility: currently defaults to autocollapse

To set this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

• |state=collapsed: {{Dams and reservoirs|state=collapsed}} to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
• |state=expanded: {{Dams and reservoirs|state=expanded}} to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
• |state=autocollapse: {{Dams and reservoirs|state=autocollapse}}
  • shows the template collapsed to the title bar if there is a {{navbox}}, a {{sidebar}}, or some other table on the page with the collapsible attribute
  • shows the template in its expanded state if there are no other collapsible items on the page

If the |state= parameter in the template on this page is not set, the template's initial visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to autocollapse.

Notice to editors

• Please avoid removing redlinks. Redlinks increase the chances of the article being created.
• Please limit this list to Countries. Link smaller regions within the larger country-list.
• To be in line with the current naming style, please name new lists in the form of List of dams and reservoirs in [country].
• Nearly all reservoirs (man-made lakes) are formed by the creation of some form of dam. Hence a comprehensive "dams and reservoirs" list would be more helpful to the reader, as well as the maintaining of lists by editors. Consider not creating separate individual "List of dams in [country]" or "List of reservoirs in [country]" type lists.
