Help:CreateCorporationArticle

To quickly create a Corporation article that matches the format in use with other Corporations:

1. Open the new article.

2. Paste the following code into the edit field:

{{InfoBoxCorporation
| image = 
| founded = 
| dissolved = 
| affiliation = 
| previous_names = 
| headquarters = 
| leadership = 
| products = 
| parent = 
| divisions = 
| plants = 
}}
'''Full corporation name''' is followed by the article lead, a short 1–3 sentence summary of the defining aspects of the company.

==Overview==
The description and history of the company is written here.

==Manufacturing==
Manufacturing centers will include this section here. Usually a table is needed to list the components produced at each plant location.
See Notes below for more information.

==References==
<references />

==Bibliography==


[[Category:Companies|{{PAGENAME}}]]

Notes[edit]

  • This template is intended for named corporations and industries on a state or multi-state level. For organizations, use Template:InfoBoxOrganization.
  • If creating an article for a manufacturing center, one or more tables are usually required for the Manufacturing section. See Category:Manufacturing Centers to find and copy a template that most closely resembles your needs and modify as appropriate.

InfoBox[edit]

  • If the information is lacking or unknown for any InfoBox line, leave it blank.
  • Multiple items on the same InfoBox line should use the following code. This creates a new line for each item.
{{Ubl|Name 1|Name 2|Name 3|etc}}
For example: {{Ubl|[[Aerospace fighters]]|[[BattleMechs]]|[[Combat Vehicles]]}}
  • In the Affiliation line, list the state(s) the company worked for or whose territory they operated in. For example: an independent publishing house based on a Federated Suns planet would thus be affiliated with them for our purposes here. If uncertain, leave it blank.
  • The Parent line is for the corporation's parent company it is controlled by, if applicable, while the Division line is for its subsidiaries. Only in rare cases will both lines be used simultaneously. If the corporation's parent company has more than one division, you do not list those "sibling" companies in the InfoBox.
  • In the Plants line, list any locations where the corporation had facilities (manufacturing plants/factories/offices/etc). If a planet or system was identified in the Headquarters line, you do not need to list it again here.
For example: {{Ubl|[[Kirklin]]|[[Layover]]|[[Nanking]]|[[Victoria (CC)|Victoria]]|[[Wernke III]]}}
