[Untitled][edit]

Fine job by User:JMK. Sort them by province and then Alpha ? Or are too many in more than one province ? Wizzy…☎ 12:22, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting[edit]

Thanks Wizzy. I've completed the update and will leave the sorting to somebody else. To someone not familiar with the geography this format may be the easiest, as three Olifants, two Crocodile, two Buffalo and potentially three Elands will be found together. If many more smaller tributaries are added one may consider a scheme. The tributaries remaining are generally trivial, and could be added to the relevant articles, or under a separate heading on this page. Alphabet headers may also help. JMK (talk) 19:39, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will put it in a sortable table. Then you can click on the header and have it sorted the way you want. Wizzy…☎ 08:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done now - hope I didn't break anything. Wizzy…☎ 09:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The table works very well. Moved some region names behind the province name so that they won't affect the sorting. JMK (talk) 20:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ngwavuma[edit]

Why does Ngwavuma not have "River" behind it? JMK (talk) 14:24, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No reason that I can establish. I moved the article to Ngwavuma River (which also helps distinguish it from Ingwavuma town). - htonl (talk) 19:06, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As River[edit]

The mouth of the As River is actually at {{Coord|-28.276794|28.372786}} and not in the middle of the lake formed by a dam, but I don't know how to show this consistent with the other coordinates in the list. Perhaps someone can fix this. --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:42, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
