Template:Infobox company

To use this template in an article, copy the template below, then paste the template into an article.

All parameters are optional. For some parameters, blank parameter values will be supplied via Wikidata, if data is available for that parameter. Those parameters are indicated below with the text "Fallback Wikidata item". Local values provided for parameters will always override available Wikidata parameter values. Parameters without either local or Wikidata values will not be displayed in the infobox.

A note on special handling of some parameters with respect to Wikidata:

If any location-related parameters are present in the article's infobox, no location-related information from Wikidata will be displayed.
If either Template:Para or Template:Para have a value in the article's infobox, neither of those parameter's Wikidata values will be displayed.

You must remove the hidden notes (both the  characters) that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article.

name: The full, legal name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. The full legal name of the company may be different from the common name used for the article title.

logo: The company's current, primary wordmark or logo. Use the logo of the entity that is the subject of the article; the logo used may be different from the logo used on consumer products, particularly if the article is about a parent company or holding company.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link; For companies that use both a wordmark and a logo, upload a file that shows the two in combination if the combined form serves as the company's primary identity mark.; For a wordmark example, see Google; for a logo example, see Apple Inc.; for a combined logo and wordmark example see Altria.; Upload a wordmark/logo graphic using the organization logo upload form.; Note: Uploading trademarked corporate logos by other means or uploading corporate logos to Wikimedia Commons is likely to result in deletion of the logo.; Format: logo.png

logo_size: Optional display width of the logo in pixels. If not specified, the size varies by user preferences.

logo_upright: Allows logo to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

logo_alt: Optional verbal description of the logo for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

logo_caption

Descriptive information for the logo, if necessary.

Example:

Logo used from 1942 to 1966

image_caption: Descriptive information for the image, if necessary.

trade_name

Trade name, doing business as, d/b/a or fictitious business name under which a company presents itself to the public. This parameter is used only when the company has a legally registered trade name that is different from the company's full, legal name.

Example:

"Cellco Partnership" is the full, legal name of the company that trades as "Verizon Wireless". This template's name parameter would, therefore, be set as Cellco Partnership, while its trade_name parameter would be set as Verizon Wireless.

native_name

The full, legal non-English name of the company as it appears in the company's home country language, reproducing any punctuation or abbreviations. For Chinese and Korean names' syntax, see the "Embedding" section below.

Examples:

romanized_name: Native name in Latin script. Use only if the company is based in a non-English speaking country and it has no official rendering of its native name in Latin script. If such a rendering exists, assign it to native_name and omit this parameter.

former_name: Former names, if a rebranding had occurred in the past.

If a founder is already listed in the founder parameter, do not list them again here as a founder; if the founder still holds an executive job with the company, you may, however, list them along with their job title (chairman, president, etc.).

Generally list prominent, current executives within the company holding key positions such as chairman, chief executive officer, president, VP of design, etc., but do not list roles below chief officer level if they are not notable. Do include top executives even not individually notable, but do not wiki-link them.

Use popular names rather than formal names if the key figure has an existing Wikipedia article.

For defunct companies, list the most prominent former executives.

Use this field for publicly traded companies only when the owner is a long-term strategic owner such as an affiliate, founder or founder's family. Wiki-link where appropriate, and include the ownership percentage and a reference. List multiple owners in descending order of ownership percentage and use Template:Tlx to format the entries.

divisions

The primary functional or operational business divisions of a company, listed alphabetically. These divisions align with the internal organizational structure of the company and may or may not align with the company's legally incorporated subsidiaries. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five divisions and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (fictional telecom corporation):

subsid

The primary legally incorporated subsidiaries owned by the company, listed alphabetically. Wiki-link each subsidiary that has its unique article. For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five subsidiaries and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (for Caterpillar Inc.):

ratio: Basel III ratio; used for banks only.

rating: Credit rating from one or more of Moody's, Fitch or S&P; used for banks only.

website

Top-level URL of the company's website, using the Template:Tlx template. Do not include the leading www. unless the URL will not resolve without it. If it needs to be hidden for some reason like it is hosting malicious activity, place the word "hide" without the quotes or the template in this field to ensure that no website shows up.

Example:

footnotes: Use to list citations that validate the data in the infobox or to note information about the terms, names, and figures used.

Financial results parameters

Wiki-link the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the Template:Para parameter.

Each parameter entry should include three elements: an indicator icon, the results of the most recent fiscal year and the results of the previous fiscal year.

Example: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Unbulleted list</syntaxhighlight>

Indicator icons

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Template:Increase Template:Tlx, Template:Steady Template:Tlx, or Template:Decrease Template:Tlx

Which display as

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions</syntaxhighlight>, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Increase US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

<syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;"> Template:Documentation subpage {{#ifeq:Infobox company|sandbox||Template:High-use}} Template:Lua Template:Uses Wikidata

This template is used to create an infobox in an article about a company.

Usage

To use this template in an article, copy the template below, then paste the template into an article.

All parameters are optional. For some parameters, blank parameter values will be supplied via Wikidata, if data is available for that parameter. Those parameters are indicated below with the text "Fallback Wikidata item". Local values provided for parameters will always override available Wikidata parameter values. Parameters without either local or Wikidata values will not be displayed in the infobox.

A note on special handling of some parameters with respect to Wikidata:

If any location-related parameters are present in the article's infobox, no location-related information from Wikidata will be displayed.
If either Template:Para or Template:Para have a value in the article's infobox, neither of those parameter's Wikidata values will be displayed.

You must remove the hidden notes (both the  characters) that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article.

Parameters

name: The full, legal name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. The full legal name of the company may be different from the common name used for the article title.

logo: The company's current, primary wordmark or logo. Use the logo of the entity that is the subject of the article; the logo used may be different from the logo used on consumer products, particularly if the article is about a parent company or holding company.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link; For companies that use both a wordmark and a logo, upload a file that shows the two in combination if the combined form serves as the company's primary identity mark.; For a wordmark example, see Google; for a logo example, see Apple Inc.; for a combined logo and wordmark example see Altria.; Upload a wordmark/logo graphic using the organization logo upload form.; Note: Uploading trademarked corporate logos by other means or uploading corporate logos to Wikimedia Commons is likely to result in deletion of the logo.; Format: logo.png

logo_size: Optional display width of the logo in pixels. If not specified, the size varies by user preferences.

logo_upright: Allows logo to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

logo_alt: Optional verbal description of the logo for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

logo_caption

Descriptive information for the logo, if necessary.

Example:

Logo used from 1942 to 1966

image: An optional second image.

image_size: Optional display width of the image in pixels.

image_upright: Allows image to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

image_alt: Optional verbal description of the image for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

image_caption: Descriptive information for the image, if necessary.

trade_name

Trade name, doing business as, d/b/a or fictitious business name under which a company presents itself to the public. This parameter is used only when the company has a legally registered trade name that is different from the company's full, legal name.

Example:

"Cellco Partnership" is the full, legal name of the company that trades as "Verizon Wireless". This template's name parameter would, therefore, be set as Cellco Partnership, while its trade_name parameter would be set as Verizon Wireless.

native_name

The full, legal non-English name of the company as it appears in the company's home country language, reproducing any punctuation or abbreviations. For Chinese and Korean names' syntax, see the "Embedding" section below.

Examples:

romanized_name: Native name in Latin script. Use only if the company is based in a non-English speaking country and it has no official rendering of its native name in Latin script. If such a rendering exists, assign it to native_name and omit this parameter.

former_name: Former names, if a rebranding had occurred in the past.

type

Type of ownership in the company (not their legal form of incorporation), wiki-linked where appropriate. To list percentages owned of a private company, use the ownership parameter.

Available types:

traded_as

If applicable, the primary stock exchange where the company's stock is listed, followed by that exchange's stock ticker symbol/symbols for the company (use stock ticker templates where possible; see Template:Category link). Information about the company's status as a component of a major index can also be added. If more than one symbol or index is involved, use Template:Tlx to format them.

Examples:

ISIN: International Securities Identification Number. To add a second ISIN, use |ISIN2=. To add a third ISIN, use |ISIN3=.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

industry

The primary industry or industries in which the company operates, listed alphabetically. If the company offers goods or services in more than one industry, format the list using Template:Tlx.

Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

Examples:

genre

Used for media or publishing companies – Genres of works published by the company, listed alphabetically and wiki-linked where appropriate. If publishing is the company's primary activity, consider using Template:Tlx rather than this template.

If more than one entry is required here, use Template:Tlx to format the list.

Examples:

The field or subset of the industry the company occupies, e.g. Industry is restaurants, the genre is fast food

predecessor

Use the largest appropriate geographic area or areas (e.g. if a company trades in nearly every province in Canada, use e.g. Template:Para rather than listing every province). If more than one entry is required, use Template:Tlx to present them alphabetically; and avoid wiki-linking any area or location name already linked in previous parameters.

Examples:

If a founder is already listed in the founder parameter, do not list them again here as a founder; if the founder still holds an executive job with the company, you may, however, list them along with their job title (chairman, president, etc.).

Generally list prominent, current executives within the company holding key positions such as chairman, chief executive officer, president, VP of design, etc., but do not list roles below chief officer level if they are not notable. Do include top executives even not individually notable, but do not wiki-link them.

Use popular names rather than formal names if the key figure has an existing Wikipedia article.

For defunct companies, list the most prominent former executives.

divisions

The primary functional or operational business divisions of a company, listed alphabetically. These divisions align with the internal organizational structure of the company and may or may not align with the company's legally incorporated subsidiaries. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five divisions and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (fictional telecom corporation):

subsid

The primary legally incorporated subsidiaries owned by the company, listed alphabetically. Wiki-link each subsidiary that has its unique article. For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five subsidiaries and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

ratio: Basel III ratio; used for banks only.

rating: Credit rating from one or more of Moody's, Fitch or S&P; used for banks only.

website

Top-level URL of the company's website, using the Template:Tlx template. Do not include the leading www. unless the URL will not resolve without it.

Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

Example:

footnotes: Use to list citations that validate the data in the infobox or to note information about the terms, names, and figures used.

Financial results parameters

Wiki-link the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the Template:Para parameter.

Each parameter entry should include three elements: an indicator icon, the results of the most recent fiscal year and the results of the previous fiscal year.

Example: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Unbulleted list</syntaxhighlight>

Indicator icons

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Template:Increase Template:Tlx, Template:Steady Template:Tlx, or Template:Decrease Template:Tlx

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions</syntaxhighlight>, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Increase US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions</syntaxhighlight>, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Increase US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

Examples

Exact dollars Template:Documentation subpage {{#ifeq:Infobox company|sandbox||Template:High-use}} Template:Lua Template:Uses Wikidata

This template is used to create an infobox in an article about a company.

Usage

To use this template in an article, copy the template below, then paste the template into an article.

All parameters are optional. For some parameters, blank parameter values will be supplied via Wikidata, if data is available for that parameter. Those parameters are indicated below with the text "Fallback Wikidata item". Local values provided for parameters will always override available Wikidata parameter values. Parameters without either local or Wikidata values will not be displayed in the infobox.

A note on special handling of some parameters with respect to Wikidata:

If any location-related parameters are present in the article's infobox, no location-related information from Wikidata will be displayed.
If either Template:Para or Template:Para have a value in the article's infobox, neither of those parameter's Wikidata values will be displayed.

You must remove the hidden notes (both the  characters) that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article.

name: The full, legal name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. The full legal name of the company may be different from the common name used for the article title.

logo: The company's current, primary wordmark or logo. Use the logo of the entity that is the subject of the article; the logo used may be different from the logo used on consumer products, particularly if the article is about a parent company or holding company.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link; For companies that use both a wordmark and a logo, upload a file that shows the two in combination if the combined form serves as the company's primary identity mark.; For a wordmark example, see Google; for a logo example, see Apple Inc.; for a combined logo and wordmark example see Altria.; Upload a wordmark/logo graphic using the organization logo upload form.; Note: Uploading trademarked corporate logos by other means or uploading corporate logos to Wikimedia Commons is likely to result in deletion of the logo.; Format: logo.png

logo_size: Optional display width of the logo in pixels. If not specified, the size varies by user preferences.

logo_upright: Allows logo to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

logo_alt: Optional verbal description of the logo for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

logo_caption

Descriptive information for the logo, if necessary.

Example:

Logo used from 1942 to 1966

trade_name

Trade name, doing business as, d/b/a or fictitious business name under which a company presents itself to the public. This parameter is used only when the company has a legally registered trade name that is different from the company's full, legal name.

Example:

"Cellco Partnership" is the full, legal name of the company that trades as "Verizon Wireless". This template's name parameter would, therefore, be set as Cellco Partnership, while its trade_name parameter would be set as Verizon Wireless.

native_name

The full, legal non-English name of the company as it appears in the company's home country language, reproducing any punctuation or abbreviations. For Chinese and Korean names' syntax, see the "Embedding" section below.

Examples:

romanized_name: Native name in Latin script. Use only if the company is based in a non-English speaking country and it has no official rendering of its native name in Latin script. If such a rendering exists, assign it to native_name and omit this parameter.

former_name: Former names, if a rebranding had occurred in the past.

Generally list prominent, current executives within the company holding key positions such as chairman, chief executive officer, president, VP of design, etc., but do not list roles below chief officer level if they are not notable. Do include top executives even not individually notable, but do not wiki-link them.

Use popular names rather than formal names if the key figure has an existing Wikipedia article.

For defunct companies, list the most prominent former executives.

divisions

The primary functional or operational business divisions of a company, listed alphabetically. These divisions align with the internal organizational structure of the company and may or may not align with the company's legally incorporated subsidiaries.

For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five subsidiaries and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example:

footnotes: Use to list citations that validate the data in the infobox or to note information about the terms, names, and figures used.

Financial results parameters

Example: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Unbulleted list</syntaxhighlight>

Indicator icons

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions</syntaxhighlight>, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Increase US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

Embedding

Many different templates can be embedding within this template. For example, to add a Korean name, use Template:Tlx as follows Template:Documentation subpage {{#ifeq:Infobox company|sandbox||Template:High-use}} Template:Lua Template:Uses Wikidata

This template is used to create an infobox in an article about a company.

Usage

To use this template in an article, copy the template below, then paste the template into an article.

All parameters are optional. For some parameters, blank parameter values will be supplied via Wikidata, if data is available for that parameter. Those parameters are indicated below with the text "Fallback Wikidata item". Local values provided for parameters will always override available Wikidata parameter values. Parameters without either local or Wikidata values will not be displayed in the infobox.

A note on special handling of some parameters with respect to Wikidata:

If any location-related parameters are present in the article's infobox, no location-related information from Wikidata will be displayed.
If either Template:Para or Template:Para have a value in the article's infobox, neither of those parameter's Wikidata values will be displayed.

You must remove the hidden notes (both the  characters) that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article.

Parameters

name: The full, legal name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. The full legal name of the company may be different from the common name used for the article title.

logo: The company's current, primary wordmark or logo. Use the logo of the entity that is the subject of the article; the logo used may be different from the logo used on consumer products, particularly if the article is about a parent company or holding company.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link; For companies that use both a wordmark and a logo, upload a file that shows the two in combination if the combined form serves as the company's primary identity mark.; For a wordmark example, see Google; for a logo example, see Apple Inc.; for a combined logo and wordmark example see Altria.; Upload a wordmark/logo graphic using the organization logo upload form.; Note: Uploading trademarked corporate logos by other means or uploading corporate logos to Wikimedia Commons is likely to result in deletion of the logo.; Format: logo.png

logo_size: Optional display width of the logo in pixels. If not specified, the size varies by user preferences.

logo_upright: Allows logo to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

logo_alt: Optional verbal description of the logo for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

logo_caption

Descriptive information for the logo, if necessary.

Example:

Logo used from 1942 to 1966

image_caption: Descriptive information for the image, if necessary.

trade_name

Trade name, doing business as, d/b/a or fictitious business name under which a company presents itself to the public. This parameter is used only when the company has a legally registered trade name that is different from the company's full, legal name.

Example:

"Cellco Partnership" is the full, legal name of the company that trades as "Verizon Wireless". This template's name parameter would, therefore, be set as Cellco Partnership, while its trade_name parameter would be set as Verizon Wireless.

native_name

The full, legal non-English name of the company as it appears in the company's home country language, reproducing any punctuation or abbreviations. For Chinese and Korean names' syntax, see the "Embedding" section below.

Examples:

romanized_name: Native name in Latin script. Use only if the company is based in a non-English speaking country and it has no official rendering of its native name in Latin script. If such a rendering exists, assign it to native_name and omit this parameter.

former_name: Former names, if a rebranding had occurred in the past.

type

Type of ownership in the company (not their legal form of incorporation), wiki-linked where appropriate. To list percentages owned of a private company, use the ownership parameter.

Available types:

Information about the company's status as a component of a major index can also be added. If more than one symbol or index is involved, use Template:Tlx to format them.

Examples:

ISIN: International Securities Identification Number. To add a second ISIN, use |ISIN2=. To add a third ISIN, use |ISIN3=.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

industry

If a founder is already listed in the founder parameter, do not list them again here as a founder; if the founder still holds an executive job with the company, you may, however, list them along with their job title (chairman, president, etc.).

Generally list prominent, current executives within the company holding key positions such as chairman, chief executive officer, president, VP of design, etc., but do not list roles below chief officer level if they are not notable. Do include top executives even not individually notable, but do not wiki-link them.

Use popular names rather than formal names if the key figure has an existing Wikipedia article.

For defunct companies, list the most prominent former executives.

divisions

The primary functional or operational business divisions of a company, listed alphabetically. These divisions align with the internal organizational structure of the company and may or may not align with the company's legally incorporated subsidiaries. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five divisions and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (fictional telecom corporation):

subsid

For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five subsidiaries and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example:

footnotes: Use to list citations that validate the data in the infobox or to note information about the terms, names, and figures used.

Financial results parameters

Wiki-link the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the Template:Para parameter.

Each parameter entry should include three elements: an indicator icon, the results of the most recent fiscal year and the results of the previous fiscal year.

Example: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Unbulleted list</syntaxhighlight>

Indicator icons

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions</syntaxhighlight>, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Increase US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

Notes

Template:Sandbox other <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;"> Template:Documentation subpage {{#ifeq:Infobox company|sandbox||Template:High-use}} Template:Lua Template:Uses Wikidata

This template is used to create an infobox in an article about a company.

Usage

To use this template in an article, copy the template below, then paste the template into an article.

All parameters are optional. For some parameters, blank parameter values will be supplied via Wikidata, if data is available for that parameter. Those parameters are indicated below with the text "Fallback Wikidata item". Local values provided for parameters will always override available Wikidata parameter values. Parameters without either local or Wikidata values will not be displayed in the infobox.

A note on special handling of some parameters with respect to Wikidata:

If any location-related parameters are present in the article's infobox, no location-related information from Wikidata will be displayed.
If either Template:Para or Template:Para have a value in the article's infobox, neither of those parameter's Wikidata values will be displayed.

You must remove the hidden notes (both the  characters) that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article.

logo_size: Optional display width of the logo in pixels. If not specified, the size varies by user preferences.

logo_upright: Allows logo to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

equity_year: The year associated with the data presented by equity. This only appears (as a parenthesis appended to equity's label) if/when equity also supplied.

owner

(or owners) Use this parameter to list, if applicable, ownership percentages for privately held companies. Use this field for publicly traded companies only when the owner is a long-term strategic owner such as an affiliate, founder or founder's family. Wiki-link where appropriate, and include the ownership percentage and a reference. List multiple owners in descending order of ownership percentage and use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If the company is majority-owned by a single entity and as such is a subsidiary or division, omit the owner field and use the parent field instead. Do not use the owner field to indicate top-level ownership if it differs from the direct parent.

Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

Example:

num_employees

Total number of people employed by the company in the most recent year and the year prior, with the applicable years in parentheses. To separate thousands (e.g. 12,200; 5,200), use a comma (,) instead of a full stop (.) per MOS:NUM.

Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

Example:

num_employees_year: The year associated with the data presented by num_employees. This only appears (as a parenthesis appended to num_employees' label) if/when num_employees also supplied.

parent

The name(s) of the current and former parent companies and the time-span(s) in which they owned the subject. Do not add "independent" as the parent company to designate times without a parent company. Do not include any higher-level owners, like the parents' parent companies. If the company is not majority-owned by a single entity and as such does not have a clear parent company, use the owner field with the respective owners' percentages instead.

divisions

The primary functional or operational business divisions of a company, listed alphabetically. These divisions align with the internal organizational structure of the company and may or may not align with the company's legally incorporated subsidiaries. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five divisions and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (fictional telecom corporation):

subsid

The primary legally incorporated subsidiaries owned by the company, listed alphabetically. Wiki-link each subsidiary that has its unique article. For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five subsidiaries and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (for Caterpillar Inc.):

module: For embedding other templates (see WP:IEmbed).

ratio: Basel III ratio; used for banks only.

rating: Credit rating from one or more of Moody's, Fitch or S&P; used for banks only.

website

Top-level URL of the company's website, using the Template:Tlx template. Do not include the leading www. unless the URL will not resolve without it. If it needs to be hidden for some reason like it is hosting malicious activity, place the word "hide" without the quotes or the template in this field to ensure that no website shows up.

Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

Example:

footnotes: Use to list citations that validate the data in the infobox or to note information about the terms, names, and figures used.

Financial results parameters

Wiki-link the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the Template:Para parameter.

Each parameter entry should include three elements: an indicator icon, the results of the most recent fiscal year and the results of the previous fiscal year.

Example: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Unbulleted list</syntaxhighlight>

Indicator icons

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Template:Increase Template:Tlx, Template:Steady Template:Tlx, or Template:Decrease Template:Tlx

Examples

Which display as

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions</syntaxhighlight>, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Increase US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

Do not use an inconsistent mix of the three styles depicted in the examples above.

Embedding

Many different templates can be embedding within this template.

Template:Sandbox other</syntaxhighlight>

Examples

Template:Documentation subpage {{#ifeq:Infobox company|sandbox||Template:High-use}} Template:Lua Template:Uses Wikidata

This template is used to create an infobox in an article about a company.

Usage

To use this template in an article, copy the template below, then paste the template into an article.

All parameters are optional. For some parameters, blank parameter values will be supplied via Wikidata, if data is available for that parameter. Those parameters are indicated below with the text "Fallback Wikidata item". Local values provided for parameters will always override available Wikidata parameter values. Parameters without either local or Wikidata values will not be displayed in the infobox.

A note on special handling of some parameters with respect to Wikidata:

If any location-related parameters are present in the article's infobox, no location-related information from Wikidata will be displayed.
If either Template:Para or Template:Para have a value in the article's infobox, neither of those parameter's Wikidata values will be displayed.

You must remove the hidden notes (both the  characters) that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article.

Parameters

name: The full, legal name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. The full legal name of the company may be different from the common name used for the article title.

logo: The company's current, primary wordmark or logo. Use the logo of the entity that is the subject of the article; the logo used may be different from the logo used on consumer products, particularly if the article is about a parent company or holding company.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link; For companies that use both a wordmark and a logo, upload a file that shows the two in combination if the combined form serves as the company's primary identity mark.; For a wordmark example, see Google; for a logo example, see Apple Inc.; for a combined logo and wordmark example see Altria.; Upload a wordmark/logo graphic using the organization logo upload form.; Note: Uploading trademarked corporate logos by other means or uploading corporate logos to Wikimedia Commons is likely to result in deletion of the logo.; Format: logo.png

logo_size: Optional display width of the logo in pixels. If not specified, the size varies by user preferences.

logo_upright: Allows logo to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

logo_alt: Optional verbal description of the logo for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

logo_caption

Descriptive information for the logo, if necessary.

Example:

Logo used from 1942 to 1966

image: An optional second image.

image_size: Optional display width of the image in pixels.

image_upright: Allows image to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

image_alt: Optional verbal description of the image for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

image_caption: Descriptive information for the image, if necessary.

trade_name

Trade name, doing business as, d/b/a or fictitious business name under which a company presents itself to the public. This parameter is used only when the company has a legally registered trade name that is different from the company's full, legal name.

Example:

"Cellco Partnership" is the full, legal name of the company that trades as "Verizon Wireless". This template's name parameter would, therefore, be set as Cellco Partnership, while its trade_name parameter would be set as Verizon Wireless.

native_name

The full, legal non-English name of the company as it appears in the company's home country language, reproducing any punctuation or abbreviations. For Chinese and Korean names' syntax, see the "Embedding" section below.

divisions

The primary functional or operational business divisions of a company, listed alphabetically. These divisions align with the internal organizational structure of the company and may or may not align with the company's legally incorporated subsidiaries. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five divisions and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (fictional telecom corporation):

subsid

The primary legally incorporated subsidiaries owned by the company, listed alphabetically. Wiki-link each subsidiary that has its unique article. For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five subsidiaries and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example:

footnotes: Use to list citations that validate the data in the infobox or to note information about the terms, names, and figures used.

Financial results parameters

Wiki-link the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the Template:Para parameter.

Each parameter entry should include three elements: an indicator icon, the results of the most recent fiscal year and the results of the previous fiscal year.

Example: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Unbulleted list</syntaxhighlight>

Indicator icons

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Template:Increase Template:Tlx, Template:Steady Template:Tlx, or Template:Decrease Template:Tlx

Examples

Which display as

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions</syntaxhighlight>, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Increase US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

Template:Sandbox other

<syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;"> Template:Documentation subpage {{#ifeq:Infobox company|sandbox||Template:High-use}} Template:Lua Template:Uses Wikidata

This template is used to create an infobox in an article about a company.

Usage

To use this template in an article, copy the template below, then paste the template into an article.

All parameters are optional. For some parameters, blank parameter values will be supplied via Wikidata, if data is available for that parameter. Those parameters are indicated below with the text "Fallback Wikidata item". Local values provided for parameters will always override available Wikidata parameter values. Parameters without either local or Wikidata values will not be displayed in the infobox.

A note on special handling of some parameters with respect to Wikidata:

If any location-related parameters are present in the article's infobox, no location-related information from Wikidata will be displayed.
If either Template:Para or Template:Para have a value in the article's infobox, neither of those parameter's Wikidata values will be displayed.

You must remove the hidden notes (both the  characters) that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article.

Parameters

name: The full, legal name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. The full legal name of the company may be different from the common name used for the article title.

logo: The company's current, primary wordmark or logo. Use the logo of the entity that is the subject of the article; the logo used may be different from the logo used on consumer products, particularly if the article is about a parent company or holding company.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link; For companies that use both a wordmark and a logo, upload a file that shows the two in combination if the combined form serves as the company's primary identity mark.; For a wordmark example, see Google; for a logo example, see Apple Inc.; for a combined logo and wordmark example see Altria.; Upload a wordmark/logo graphic using the organization logo upload form.; Note: Uploading trademarked corporate logos by other means or uploading corporate logos to Wikimedia Commons is likely to result in deletion of the logo.; Format: logo.png

logo_size: Optional display width of the logo in pixels. If not specified, the size varies by user preferences.

logo_upright: Allows logo to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

logo_alt: Optional verbal description of the logo for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

logo_caption

Descriptive information for the logo, if necessary.

Example:

Logo used from 1942 to 1966

image: An optional second image.

image_size: Optional display width of the image in pixels.

image_upright: Allows image to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

image_alt: Optional verbal description of the image for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

image_caption: Descriptive information for the image, if necessary.

trade_name

Trade name, doing business as, d/b/a or fictitious business name under which a company presents itself to the public. This parameter is used only when the company has a legally registered trade name that is different from the company's full, legal name.

Example:

"Cellco Partnership" is the full, legal name of the company that trades as "Verizon Wireless". This template's name parameter would, therefore, be set as Cellco Partnership, while its trade_name parameter would be set as Verizon Wireless.

native_name

The full, legal non-English name of the company as it appears in the company's home country language, reproducing any punctuation or abbreviations. For Chinese and Korean names' syntax, see the "Embedding" section below.

Examples:

romanized_name: Native name in Latin script. Use only if the company is based in a non-English speaking country and it has no official rendering of its native name in Latin script. If such a rendering exists, assign it to native_name and omit this parameter.

former_name: Former names, if a rebranding had occurred in the past.

type

Type of ownership in the company (not their legal form of incorporation), wiki-linked where appropriate. To list percentages owned of a private company, use the ownership parameter.

Available types:

traded_as

If applicable, the primary stock exchange where the company's stock is listed, followed by that exchange's stock ticker symbol/symbols for the company (use stock ticker templates where possible; see Template:Category link). Information about the company's status as a component of a major index can also be added. If more than one symbol or index is involved, use Template:Tlx to format them.

Examples:

ISIN: International Securities Identification Number. To add a second ISIN, use |ISIN2=. To add a third ISIN, use |ISIN3=.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

industry

The primary industry or industries in which the company operates, listed alphabetically. If the company offers goods or services in more than one industry, format the list using Template:Tlx.

Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

Examples:

genre

Used for media or publishing companies – Genres of works published by the company, listed alphabetically and wiki-linked where appropriate. If publishing is the company's primary activity, consider using Template:Tlx rather than this template.

Examples:

The field or subset of the industry the company occupies, e.g. Industry is restaurants, the genre is fast food

Fallback Wikidata items: Template:Wikidata entity link and Template:Wikidata entity link

Examples:

num_locations

Number of places at or in which the company has a [visible, public?] presence. Include the type of place (e.g. "store", "outlet") if the same for most/all instances.

area_served

(or areas_served) Geographic area or areas in which the company does business. Use the largest appropriate geographic area or areas (e.g. if a company trades in nearly every province in Canada, use e.g. Template:Para rather than listing every province). If more than one entry is required, use Template:Tlx to present them alphabetically; and avoid wiki-linking any area or location name already linked in previous parameters.

Examples:

key_people

Up to four key individuals closely associated with the company. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. List the figures in order of organizational role importance.

If a founder is already listed in the founder parameter, do not list them again here as a founder; if the founder still holds an executive job with the company, you may, however, list them along with their job title (chairman, president, etc.).

Generally list prominent, current executives within the company holding key positions such as chairman, chief executive officer, president, VP of design, etc., but do not list roles below chief officer level if they are not notable. Do include top executives even not individually notable, but do not wiki-link them.

Use popular names rather than formal names if the key figure has an existing Wikipedia article.

For defunct companies, list the most prominent former executives.

Example:

products

A representative selection of the company's well-known current or former products, listed alphabetically. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries.

Examples:

production

The number of units produced in the most recent year and the year prior, stating the year in parentheses. Indicate what is being measured, such as vehicles, units or devices. You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

divisions

The primary functional or operational business divisions of a company, listed alphabetically. These divisions align with the internal organizational structure of the company and may or may not align with the company's legally incorporated subsidiaries. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five divisions and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (fictional telecom corporation):

subsid

The primary legally incorporated subsidiaries owned by the company, listed alphabetically. Wiki-link each subsidiary that has its unique article. For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five subsidiaries and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (for Caterpillar Inc.):

ratio: Basel III ratio; used for banks only.

rating: Credit rating from one or more of Moody's, Fitch or S&P; used for banks only.

website

Top-level URL of the company's website, using the Template:Tlx template. Do not include the leading www. unless the URL will not resolve without it.

Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

Example:

footnotes: Use to list citations that validate the data in the infobox or to note information about the terms, names, and figures used.

Financial results parameters

Wiki-link the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the Template:Para parameter.

Each parameter entry should include three elements: an indicator icon, the results of the most recent fiscal year and the results of the previous fiscal year.

Example: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Unbulleted list</syntaxhighlight>

Indicator icons

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Template:Increase Template:Tlx, Template:Steady Template:Tlx, or Template:Decrease Template:Tlx

Examples

Which display as

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions</syntaxhighlight>, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Increase US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

Template:Documentation subpage {{#ifeq:Infobox company|sandbox||Template:High-use}} Template:Lua Template:Uses Wikidata

This template is used to create an infobox in an article about a company.

Usage

To use this template in an article, copy the template below, then paste the template into an article.

All parameters are optional. For some parameters, blank parameter values will be supplied via Wikidata, if data is available for that parameter. Those parameters are indicated below with the text "Fallback Wikidata item". Local values provided for parameters will always override available Wikidata parameter values. Parameters without either local or Wikidata values will not be displayed in the infobox.

A note on special handling of some parameters with respect to Wikidata:

If any location-related parameters are present in the article's infobox, no location-related information from Wikidata will be displayed.
If either Template:Para or Template:Para have a value in the article's infobox, neither of those parameter's Wikidata values will be displayed.

You must remove the hidden notes (both the  characters) that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article.

Parameters

name: The full, legal name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. The full legal name of the company may be different from the common name used for the article title.

logo: The company's current, primary wordmark or logo. Use the logo of the entity that is the subject of the article; the logo used may be different from the logo used on consumer products, particularly if the article is about a parent company or holding company.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link; For companies that use both a wordmark and a logo, upload a file that shows the two in combination if the combined form serves as the company's primary identity mark.; For a wordmark example, see Google; for a logo example, see Apple Inc.; for a combined logo and wordmark example see Altria.; Upload a wordmark/logo graphic using the organization logo upload form.; Note: Uploading trademarked corporate logos by other means or uploading corporate logos to Wikimedia Commons is likely to result in deletion of the logo.; Format: logo.png

logo_size: Optional display width of the logo in pixels. If not specified, the size varies by user preferences.

logo_upright: Allows logo to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

logo_alt: Optional verbal description of the logo for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

logo_caption

Descriptive information for the logo, if necessary.

Example:

Logo used from 1942 to 1966

image_caption: Descriptive information for the image, if necessary.

trade_name

Trade name, doing business as, d/b/a or fictitious business name under which a company presents itself to the public. This parameter is used only when the company has a legally registered trade name that is different from the company's full, legal name.

Example:

"Cellco Partnership" is the full, legal name of the company that trades as "Verizon Wireless". This template's name parameter would, therefore, be set as Cellco Partnership, while its trade_name parameter would be set as Verizon Wireless.

native_name

The full, legal non-English name of the company as it appears in the company's home country language, reproducing any punctuation or abbreviations. For Chinese and Korean names' syntax, see the "Embedding" section below.

Examples:

romanized_name: Native name in Latin script. Use only if the company is based in a non-English speaking country and it has no official rendering of its native name in Latin script. If such a rendering exists, assign it to native_name and omit this parameter.

former_name: Former names, if a rebranding had occurred in the past.

divisions

The primary functional or operational business divisions of a company, listed alphabetically. These divisions align with the internal organizational structure of the company and may or may not align with the company's legally incorporated subsidiaries.

For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five subsidiaries and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example:

footnotes: Use to list citations that validate the data in the infobox or to note information about the terms, names, and figures used.

Financial results parameters

Wiki-link the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the Template:Para parameter.

Each parameter entry should include three elements: an indicator icon, the results of the most recent fiscal year and the results of the previous fiscal year.

Example: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Unbulleted list</syntaxhighlight>

Indicator icons

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions</syntaxhighlight>, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Increase US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

<syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;"> Template:Documentation subpage {{#ifeq:Infobox company|sandbox||Template:High-use}} Template:Lua Template:Uses Wikidata

This template is used to create an infobox in an article about a company.

Usage

To use this template in an article, copy the template below, then paste the template into an article.

All parameters are optional. For some parameters, blank parameter values will be supplied via Wikidata, if data is available for that parameter. Those parameters are indicated below with the text "Fallback Wikidata item". Local values provided for parameters will always override available Wikidata parameter values. Parameters without either local or Wikidata values will not be displayed in the infobox.

A note on special handling of some parameters with respect to Wikidata:

If any location-related parameters are present in the article's infobox, no location-related information from Wikidata will be displayed.
If either Template:Para or Template:Para have a value in the article's infobox, neither of those parameter's Wikidata values will be displayed.

You must remove the hidden notes (both the  characters) that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article.

Parameters

name: The full, legal name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. The full legal name of the company may be different from the common name used for the article title.

logo: The company's current, primary wordmark or logo. Use the logo of the entity that is the subject of the article; the logo used may be different from the logo used on consumer products, particularly if the article is about a parent company or holding company.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link; For companies that use both a wordmark and a logo, upload a file that shows the two in combination if the combined form serves as the company's primary identity mark.; For a wordmark example, see Google; for a logo example, see Apple Inc.; for a combined logo and wordmark example see Altria.; Upload a wordmark/logo graphic using the organization logo upload form.; Note: Uploading trademarked corporate logos by other means or uploading corporate logos to Wikimedia Commons is likely to result in deletion of the logo.; Format: logo.png

logo_size: Optional display width of the logo in pixels. If not specified, the size varies by user preferences.

logo_upright: Allows logo to be scaled by a multiplier of the user's set preference. The default multiplier is one (1).

logo_alt: Optional verbal description of the logo for text-only browsers and visually impaired users.

logo_caption

Descriptive information for the logo, if necessary.

Example:

Logo used from 1942 to 1966

image_caption: Descriptive information for the image, if necessary.

trade_name

Trade name, doing business as, d/b/a or fictitious business name under which a company presents itself to the public. This parameter is used only when the company has a legally registered trade name that is different from the company's full, legal name.

Example:

"Cellco Partnership" is the full, legal name of the company that trades as "Verizon Wireless". This template's name parameter would, therefore, be set as Cellco Partnership, while its trade_name parameter would be set as Verizon Wireless.

native_name

The full, legal non-English name of the company as it appears in the company's home country language, reproducing any punctuation or abbreviations. For Chinese and Korean names' syntax, see the "Embedding" section below.

Examples:

romanized_name: Native name in Latin script. Use only if the company is based in a non-English speaking country and it has no official rendering of its native name in Latin script. If such a rendering exists, assign it to native_name and omit this parameter.

former_name: Former names, if a rebranding had occurred in the past.

type

Type of ownership in the company (not their legal form of incorporation), wiki-linked where appropriate. To list percentages owned of a private company, use the ownership parameter.

Available types:

traded_as

If applicable, the primary stock exchange where the company's stock is listed, followed by that exchange's stock ticker symbol/symbols for the company (use stock ticker templates where possible; see Template:Category link). Information about the company's status as a component of a major index can also be added. If more than one symbol or index is involved, use Template:Tlx to format them.

Examples:

ISIN: International Securities Identification Number. To add a second ISIN, use |ISIN2=. To add a third ISIN, use |ISIN3=.; Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

All income that the company receives from its normal business activities, usually from the sale of goods and services to customers in the most recent year and the year prior, indicating the years in parentheses. (Revenue is referred to as "turnover" in the United Kingdom.) Wiki-link the currency unit and indicate country for common currency units like "dollar".

Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

Example:

revenue_year: The year associated with the data presented by revenue. This only appears (as a parenthesis appended to revenue's label) if/when revenue also supplied.

operating_income

Total earnings before interest and taxes recognized by the company in its most recent fiscal year and the year prior, with the applicable years in parentheses.

Example:

income_year: The year associated with the data presented by operating_income. This only appears (as a parenthesis appended to operating_income's label) if/when operating_income also supplied.

net_income

(or profit) Net income or profit (revenue minus costs) realized by the company in its most recent fiscal year and the year prior, with the applicable years in parentheses.

Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

Example:

net_income_year: (or profit_year) The year associated with the data presented by net_income. This only appears (as a parenthesis appended to net_income's label) if/when net_income also supplied.

aum

The company's total assets under management (AUM) in its most recent fiscal year and the year prior, with the applicable years in parentheses.

This entry is used for financial services companies only. If the article subject is not a financial services company, delete this parameter from the article.

Example:

assets

Total assets controlled by the company in its most recent fiscal year and the year prior, with the applicable years in parentheses.

Fallback Wikidata item: Template:Wikidata entity link

Example:

assets_year: The year associated with the data presented by assets. This only appears (as a parenthesis appended to assets' label) if/when assets also supplied.

equity

Total equity or net worth held in the company; shareholder equity for public companies.

Example:

equity_year: The year associated with the data presented by equity. This only appears (as a parenthesis appended to equity's label) if/when equity also supplied.

owner

(or owners) Use this parameter to list, if applicable, ownership percentages for privately held companies. Use this field for publicly traded companies only when the owner is a long-term strategic owner such as an affiliate, founder or founder's family. Wiki-link where appropriate, and include the ownership percentage and a reference. List multiple owners in descending order of ownership percentage and use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If the company is majority-owned by a single entity and as such is a subsidiary or division, omit the owner field and use the parent field instead. Do not use the owner field to indicate top-level ownership if it differs from the direct parent.

Example:

num_employees

Total number of people employed by the company in the most recent year and the year prior, with the applicable years in parentheses. To separate thousands (e.g. 12,200; 5,200), use a comma (,) instead of a full stop (.) per MOS:NUM.

Example:

num_employees_year: The year associated with the data presented by num_employees. This only appears (as a parenthesis appended to num_employees' label) if/when num_employees also supplied.

parent

The name(s) of the current and former parent companies and the time-span(s) in which they owned the subject. Do not add "independent" as the parent company to designate times without a parent company. Do not include any higher-level owners, like the parents' parent companies. If the company is not majority-owned by a single entity and as such does not have a clear parent company, use the owner field with the respective owners' percentages instead.

divisions

The primary functional or operational business divisions of a company, listed alphabetically. These divisions align with the internal organizational structure of the company and may or may not align with the company's legally incorporated subsidiaries. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five divisions and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (fictional telecom corporation):

subsid

The primary legally incorporated subsidiaries owned by the company, listed alphabetically. Wiki-link each subsidiary that has its unique article. For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use Template:Tlx to format the entries. If there are more than five subsidiaries and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.

Example (for Caterpillar Inc.):

module: For embedding other templates (see WP:IEmbed).

ratio: Basel III ratio; used for banks only.

rating: Credit rating from one or more of Moody's, Fitch or S&P; used for banks only.

website

Top-level URL of the company's website, using the Template:Tlx template. Do not include the leading www. unless the URL will not resolve without it. If it needs to be hidden for some reason like it is hosting malicious activity, place the word "hide" without the quotes or the template in this field to ensure that no website shows up.

Example:

footnotes: Use to list citations that validate the data in the infobox or to note information about the terms, names, and figures used.

Financial results parameters

Wiki-link the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the Template:Para parameter.

Each parameter entry should include three elements: an indicator icon, the results of the most recent fiscal year and the results of the previous fiscal year.

Example: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Unbulleted list</syntaxhighlight>

Indicator icons

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Template:Increase Template:Tlx, Template:Steady Template:Tlx, or Template:Decrease Template:Tlx

Examples

<syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Unbulleted list</syntaxhighlight>

Which display as

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions</syntaxhighlight>, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Template:Increase US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Template:Increase US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.
