This template is used to create an infobox in an article about a company.
Usage
editTo 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.
Short version
editFull version
editParameters
edit- 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: (P154)
- 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

- Example:
- Logo used from 1942 to 1966

Financial results parameters
editFinancial indicators available:
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
editYou 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.
- 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
-
US$128,064,032 (2011)- US$111,586,447 (2010)
US$128,000,000 (2011)- US$128,000,000 (2010)
US$111,586,447 (2011)- US$128,064,032 (2010)
Consistent notation
editThere 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 en:MOS:NUM.
Do not express results as a decimal such as . Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.
In this example, use or {{Increase}} US$963,000,000 (2010) and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.
