Please add Name (or Company) field to the template, to render instead of the default <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>, so that it can be used when "company" doesn't need its own page.

Wikidata
I think adding a Wikidata QID field to this infobox would be good in the spirit of data interlinking.
Also, if you're willing to set up the Wikibase client extension, some of the other fields could be pulled from Wikidata:
Foundedis P571 inceptionIndustryis P452 industry / P1056 product or material produced, but the data is messyLogois P154 logo image (may require InstantCommons)ParentCompanyis P749 parent organization or unitTypeis P1454 legal form / P31 instance of, but the data is messyWebsiteis P856 official website / P13337 domain name
For an example, Q95 Google has all of these set. YoshiRulz (talk) 21:17, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

- In such a situation, "International" could also exist as an option for multi-national groups / orgos. Just an idea. IWillRememberMyPassword (talk) 18:05, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, but sadly this is not likely to happen. Basically, all ____Cargo templates use an extension that is hard to use, and basically pretty much all of the contributors that know how to use the extension have left. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 18:29, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- It could be done already if every single page and template of interoperability importance wasn't protected. It's worse than DRM. Same with main page pages.

Name (or Company) field
Please add Name (or Company) field to the template, to render instead of the default {{PAGENAME}}, so that it can be used when "company" doesn't need its own page. See UOKiK (consumer protection agency) in Poland article. Tracerneo (talk) 14:49, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
