Incidents

If the company page is short enough and/or the incident is not deserving of its own page, add incidents below in sub-sections (including the points outlined in the incident help page) without linking/creating an incident page.

If the company has various incidents listed and/or this page is getting too long, create subsections linking to each incident while linking to the main article and including a short summary. To link to the page use the "Hatnote" or "Main" templates.

If the company has numerous incidents then format them in a table (see Amazon for an example).
