Водные пространства

Данное руководство определяет возможности описания в Википутешествии различных водных пространств, таких как реки, озёра, океаны и моря.

Мы не создаем путеводители по водным объектам. Мы размещаем информацию о водных пространствах в «сухопутных» путеводителях, и переадресовываем путешественника к ней.

[править] Сухопутные регионы

Some land regions are named after bodies of water. These articles aren't about those bodies of water, and this style guideline does not apply to them. For example, the Озеро Тахо является регионом в Калифорнии is named after the lake there, but it is about the towns, national parks, and ski resorts that ring the lake.

[править] Transportation

Using bodies of water as transportation is a subject usually treated in the transportation section (Get in or Get around) section of destination guide. For example a ferry information for crossing the English Channel can be found on Великобритания#Как добраться or Франция#Как добраться.

Sometimes the transportation system for a body of water may be too complex to be in a one or two destination guides, and a travel topic or itinerary article should be considered. for example, you won't find the complete description on how to get из Белена в Манаус via the Amazon river in Белен#Как добраться.

Bodies of water often serve as conduits for, or obstacles to, getting between two points. For example, you sail over the English Channel to get из Великобритании до Франции; you can't cross the Danube except in a few places. Again, this information is contained in the transportation sections of the relevant guides.
