Usage

The {{WikiProject Dams|class=|importance=}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. If the dam article needs immediate attention or an infobox or it is hydroelectric, simply mark "Yes" in the field. The full syntax is as follows:

{{WikiProject Dams
 |class = 
 |importance = 
 |attention =
 |needs-infobox = 
}}

Also, if the dam is hydroelectric, please include the WikiProject Energy tag as well if it is not already present:

{{WikiProject Energy
 |class=XXX
 |importance=YYY
 |needs-infobox=
 |attention=
}}
