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

All parameters are optional – those you do not populate with data will not show up in the infobox when the article is saved.

You must remove both the <!-- and --> characters that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article.

Short version

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.

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 logo in pixels. If not specified, the size varies by user preferences.

logo_alt

Optional verbal description of 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, therefore would 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:

• ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse
• Нефтяна́я Компа́ния Ю́КОС

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 the company (not their type of incorporation), wikilinked where appropriate. To list percentages owned of a private company, use the ownership parameter.

Examples:

traded_as

If applicable, the primary stock exchange where the company's stock is listed, followed by its stock ticker symbol/symbols for the company (use stock ticker templates where possible; see Category:Ticker symbol templates). 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 {{Unbulleted list}} to format them.

Examples:

• {{NYSE|DLB}}

ISIN

International Securities Identification Number. To add a second ISIN, use |ISIN2=.

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 {{Unbulleted list}}.

Examples:

• Appliance manufacturing

genre

Used for media or publishing companies – Genres of works published by the company, listed alphabetically and wikilinked where appropriate. If publishing is the company's primary activity, consider using {{Infobox publisher}} rather than this template.

If more than one entry is required here, use {{Unbulleted list}} 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

fate

Reason(s) the company became defunct, or the name of the entity that acquired or merged with it.

Examples:

• Bankrupted
• Dissolved

predecessor

(or predecessors)   The name(s) of any predecessor(s) of the company. If the company has two or more predecessors, list them alphabetically using {{Unbulleted list}}.

Examples:

• Apple Inc.

successor

(or successors)   The name(s) of any successor(s) of the company. If the company has two or more successors, list them alphabetically using {{Unbulleted list}}.

Examples:

founded

Date and location of the company's establishment/foundation. For date, use {{Start date and age}}. For the location, use a format such as [[City, State or Province]], Country or [[City]], Country (i.e. link only the location's most specific element, per MOS:OVERLINK). Per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG, do not include flag icons; a company's location, ownership and liability, for instance, may exist in or across more than one country/region/etc.

Examples:

founder

(or founders)   The founder/entrepreneur/s who founded the company, wikilinked if notable. If more than one person, use {{Unbulleted list}} to format the entries.

Examples:

• Thomas Oliver

defunct

The year (or, more specifically, if known, the date) the company became defunct/legally dissolved. Use {{End date}}.

Examples:

hq_location

hq_location_city

hq_location_country : City (for the U.S. and Canada, with the state/province/territory) and country company's physical headquarters location. If using hq_location_city or hq_location_country, reserve hq_location for the building, address, or business park, if these are themselves notable. Also maintain MOS:OVERLINK and MOS:INFOBOXFLAG.

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.

Examples:

• 815 stores

num_locations_year

The year associated with the data presented by num_location. Only appears (as a parenthesis appended to num_locations' label) if/when num_locations also supplied.

area_served

(or areas_served)   Geographic area or areas in which the company does business. Use the largest appropriate geographic area or areas (i.e. if, for instance, a company trades in nearly every province in Canada, use e.g. |area_served=Most of Canada rather than listing every province). If more than one entry is required, use {{Unbulleted list}} to present them alphabetically; and avoid wikilinking any area or location name already linked in previous parameters.

Examples:

• Worldwide
• North America

key_people

Up to four key individuals closely associated with the company. If there is more than one entry, use {{Unbulleted list}} to format the entries. List the figures in order of organizational role importance. Give job title(s) in parentheses (round brackets); these job titles use standard English casing. 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.).

Always list the ceo. 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 wikilink them.

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

It may be appropriate to add, at the end, past executives who played an especially prominent role in the company's history.

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 {{Unbulleted list}} to format the entries.

Examples:

brands

Any significant brand names/imprints/etc. used by the company that differ from its name. If more than one, list using {{Hlist}}.

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. Please note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Example:

production_year

The year associated with the data presented by production. Only appears (as a parenthesis appended to production's label) if/when production also supplied.

services

A representative selection of the company's well known current or former services offered, listed alphabetically. If there is more than one entry, use {{Unbulleted list}} to format the entries.

Example:

revenue

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.) Wikilink the currency unit and indicate country for common currency units like "dollar".

Example:

revenue_year

The year associated with the data presented by revenue. 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.

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.

Example:

assets_year

The year associated with the data presented by assets. 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. 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 or founding family. Wiki-link where appropriate, and include the ownership percentage and a reference. List multiple owners in descending order of ownership percentage and use {{Unbulleted list}} 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) please 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. 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 parent company to designate times without a parent company. Do not include 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.

Example (for YouTube):

<source lang="moin" inline>Google</source>

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 {{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):

subsid

The primary legally incorporated subsidiaries owned by the company, listed alphabetically. Wikilink each subsidiary that has its own 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 {{Unbulleted list}} 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 {{URL}} 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

Financial indicators available: <source lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;"> | revenue = | revenue_year = | operating_income = | income_year = | net_income = | income_year = | aum = | assets = | assets_year = | equity = | equity_year = </source>

Wikilink 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

<source lang="moin" inline>

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

</source>

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. Please 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}}, Steady {{Steady}}, or Decrease {{Decrease}}

Examples

<source lang="moin" inline>

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

</source>

<source lang="moin" inline>

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

</source>

<source lang="moin" inline>

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

</source>

Which display as

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

• 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. If using billions, always wikilink the first occurrence as <source lang="moin" inline>billions</source>, 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 <source lang="html" style="overflow: hidden; background: unset;" inline>Increase US$.963 billion (2010)</source>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

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