Template:Infobox company is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.

Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.

WikiProject Companies To-do:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests : Wikipedia:Requested articles/Business and economics/Companies
Assess : Category:Unassessed company articles
Copyedit : Category:Company articles needing attention
Infobox : Category:Company articles needing infoboxes
Maintain : Portal:Companies
Stubs : Help expand stub articles located at Category:Company stubs
Other :
- Tag company articles with the {{portal|Companies}} template
- Tag company talk pages with the {{WikiProject Companies}} project banner
- Answer requests for comments

This template was considered for merging with Template:Infobox U.S. national banks on 2020 March 24. The result of the discussion was "no consensus".

Map

I think this template should be able to display a map. I understand the parameter may not be helpful for a major corporation with many office and/or retail locations, but sometimes a company operates from a single location. For these articles, I think a map for the infobox would be helpful.

Thoughts? Concerns? Anyone able to implement? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:01, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See Template_talk:Infobox_company/Archive_12#Map, and by extension Template_talk:Infobox_company/Archive_9#Coordinates, in which "no" continues to be the consensus. Primefac (talk) 09:38, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 16 December 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

It seems that this template generates a links in links lint error whenever there is a reference supplied for the |ISIN= parameter. See Current version of Draft:Icecat (company), where the |ISIN= parameter is causing this lint error. But now look at this example based on the usage at Icecat, with a reference on almost every parameter except |ISIN=, and there is no lint error.

References

Please fix to allow |ISIN= to take a reference without generating a links in links lint error. —Anomalocaris (talk) 20:30, 16 December 2022 (UTC) Anomalocaris (talk) 20:30, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ostensibly, there is only one fix to this, which is not enforcing a link. Instead, I expanded the template {{ISIN}} to cover the use case we previously had here. Therefore, ISIN parameters should now be migrated from |ISIN=X to |ISIN={{ISIN|sl=n|pl=y|X}}. |ISIN2= and |ISIN3= are also now covered in |ISIN=. I will start with some migration work soon. IceWelder [✉] 00:52, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Anomalocaris: I have also applied the new scheme to the draft you mentioned. IceWelder [✉] 03:33, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 16 January 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Add param worker representation= XYZ with preference for wiki-linked values e.g. Tesla and unions, Starbucks unions or other wikilinks in Category:Labour relations by company The wikicode for this would be inserted at the bottom with

| label42 = worker representation | data42 =

Thank you for your consideration ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 15:46, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This was discussed before but did not really reach a consensus. Generally, consensus should come before any edit request. Do feel free to revive the discussion. IceWelder [✉] 18:12, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would support this parameter's addition. The organisation of workers, whether formal or informal, is important information for large companies. I think it is suitable for an infobox parameter, given that this infobox has parameters for HQ location, key figures, and several different financial statistics. Please ping me if another discussion starts on this. — Bilorv (talk) 15:03, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of "child" parameter

Couldn't there be a "child" parameter so this template can be embedded inside another infobox template? For example, at the TBS Television (Japan) article, I tried to embed this template inside Template:Infobox television station, but the result looks weird because this template doesn't have a "child" parameter, so I had to do it the other way round.

-== Country field ==
-Notice in some United Kingdom company articles there has been some edit warring with an editor replacing England in the country headquarters field with England, UK. This appears to have been contentious with several editors reversing. So the question is should headquarters be listed as:
-*city, country, e.g. [[London]], England or
-*city, country, crown dependency, e.g. [[London]], England, UK.
-Can't see any evidence of the issue having been discussed, either here or at [[WP:WikiProject Companies]], but if a consensus can be reached, this can be referred back to when it flares up to try and avoid the constant edit warring. As it stands the template has two fields:
-*hq_location_city =
-*hq_location_country =
-Given that we don’t even link countries per [[WP:OVERLINK]], for mine, city, country is adequate with no need for crown dependency, much like we have [[Paris]], France, not [[Paris]], France, European Union. [[User:Homeltraix|Homeltraix]] ([[User talk:Homeltraix|talk]]) 20:54, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
-:As this is not specific to this infobox, this is probably not the best place to discuss this. However, take a look at [[Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Archive_222#Removal of "UK" from location field in infoboxes]], the most recent discussion, to see how contentious this is.
-:Also, with the example of [[London]], [[WP:OVERLINK]] says that is sufficient by itself. There is another related discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Linking#Implementation in infoboxes]] that says the existence of multiple fields in infobox templates is not a justification to ignore project linking guidelines.
