Template:Infobox company/doc

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

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

Parameters
Do not erase parameters that could logically apply now or in the future because you do not yet have data (such as financial results) or because the parameter does not apply today (such as defunct date), except the  parameter, which pertains only to publishing companies, and the   parameter, which applies only to financial services companies. You may erase a parameter if it can never logically be applicable. The  parameter, for example, only applies to companies based outside the United States and can therefore be erased from articles about United States-based companies.

Note that the examples below are for demonstration purposes only and do not necessarily reflect actual data.


 * name : The name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof.

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 : The company's current, primary wordmark or logo. Use the logo of the legal 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.


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

Financial results parameters
The,  ,  ,  ,   and   are used to record a company's financial information.

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:

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, steady, or  decrease

Examples:


 * 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)

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, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use  to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per WP:Manual of Style (dates and numbers).

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   and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.
