The template {{tlx|Infobox dam}} provides an organized space for images and the basic statistics of a particular dam. See the example at right for the basic look of a dam infobox. The infobox at right lacks info in several fields. Put all the information you can into the infobox of the dam you are writing about if possible. Note that the infobox will override the dam name you put in its field; i.e. it will place the name of the article (or talk page or user subpage or whatever) there instead. Title the article with caution.
