Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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 |owner= or |parent= 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 <!-- and --> 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

• [[Division (business)|Division]]

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 Category:Ticker symbol templates).

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number.

divisions

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 {{Unbulleted list}} 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):

• {{Unbulleted list|Business sales|Consumer sales|Information technologies|Network|Regulatory|Finance}}

subsid

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.

footnotes

Financial results parameters

Financial indicators available:

| revenue = 
| revenue_year = <!-- Year of revenue data (if known) -->
| operating_income = 
| income_year = <!-- Year of operating_income data (if known) -->
| net_income = <!-- or: | profit = -->
| net_income_year = <!-- or: | profit_year = --><!-- Year of net_income/profit data (if known) -->
| aum = <!-- Only for financial-service companies -->
| assets = 
| assets_year = <!-- Year of assets data (if known) -->
| equity = 
| equity_year = <!-- Year of equity data (if known) -->

Wiki-link the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the |revenue= 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

{{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$128,064,032 (2011)|US$111,586,447 (2010)}}

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.

Increase {{Increase}}, Template:Steady {{Steady}}, or Decrease {{Decrease}}

Examples

{{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$128,064,032 (2011)|US$111,586,447 (2010)}}

{{Unbulleted list|{{Steady}} US$128,000,000 (2011)|US$128,000,000 (2010)}}

{{Unbulleted list|{{Decrease}} US$111,586,447 (2011)|US$128,064,032 (2010)}}

Which display as

• Increase US$128,064,032 (2011)
• US$111,586,447 (2010)

• Template:Steady US$128,000,000 (2011)
• US$128,000,000 (2010)

• Decrease US$111,586,447 (2011)
• US$128,064,032 (2010)

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. Use   to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.

Do not express results as a decimal such as {{Increase}} US$.963 billion (2010). Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example, use {{Increase}} US$963 million (2010) or {{Increase}} US$963,000,000 (2010) and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use {{Unbulleted list}} to format the entries.
