Table header

{{Company-list table start}} formats the table title, legend, and column headers. The title includes country if passed as the first parameter:

• {{Company-list table start}}
• {{Company-list table start|countryname}}

Table body entry

{{Company-list table entry}} is used to format a row in the table that describes a company. The first six parameters may be either positional or named. Do not mix the two styles. The named |state= and |defunct= parameters can be used with both formats to specify certain details that affect formatting.

Be aware that most readers will view the table on a phone: avoid excessive detail

Parameters

Positional	Named	Notes
1	company	Common name of the company. An acronym or short form is acceptable if that is what is normally used. E.g. IBM rather than International Business Machines Corporation
2	industry	Industry, typically following the Industry Classification Benchmark taxonomy. E.g. Technology, Health Care, Financials etc.
3	sector	Sector, typically following the Industry Classification Benchmark taxonomy. E.g. Semiconductors, Medical Supplies, Mortgage Finance
4	headquarters	City where the company has its headquarters
5	founded	Year founded, if known
6	notes	Any other information
	state	state=y indicates that the company is state-owned. If non-blank, the row will be darker and S will appear in the first status column. Otherwise P will appear.
	defunct	defunct=y indicates that the company is defunct. If non-blank, the row will be darker and D will appear in the second status column. Otherwise A will appear.

Positional format

All six positional parameters must be specified. Leave blank if their value is unknown. The named parameters are optional.

• {{Company-list table entry|company|industry|sector|headquarters|year founded|notes|state=|defunct=}}

Named parameter format

Provide the parameters for which there is a known value

{{Company-list table entry
 |company = ''company'' 
 |industry = ''industry''
 |sector = ''sector''
 |headquarters = ''headquarters''
 |founded = ''year founded''
 |notes = ''notes''
 |state =
 |defunct =
}}

Table footer

{{Company-list table end}} closes the table.
