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.
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:
  • ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse
  • Нефтяная компания ЮКОС
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.

  • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Public
  • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Subsidiary
  • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Division

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]], Country Add the state/province/territory for cities in the US and Canada where required by WP:USPLACENAMES and avoid linking the country per MOS:OVERLINK. Per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG, do not include flag icons.
Examples:
  • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>April 27, 1975; 49 years ago (1975-04-27) in Teaneck, New Jersey, United States

Examples:
  • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>
  • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>
num_locations

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 {{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), use a comma (,) instead of a full stop (.) per MOS:NUM.

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):
<syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Google
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):
  • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>
    • Business sales
    • Consumer sales
    • Information technologies
    • Network
    • Regulatory
    • Finance
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 {{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.

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:

| 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
<syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>
  • 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}}, Steady {{Steady}}, or Decrease {{Decrease}}
Examples
<syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>
  • Increase US$128,064,032 (2011)
  • US$111,586,447 (2010)
<syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>
  • Steady US$128,000,000 (2011)

<syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>
  • 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)
  • 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 wiki-link the first occurrence as <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>billions, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use &nbsp; 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 <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>Increase US$963,000,000 (2010) and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.
