=== Description of fields ===

No fields are mandatory but fill in as many fields as possible.

* '''name''': publisher name, especially if article title has a dab ("Awesome Fiction (publisher)")
* '''image''': An [[WP:IMAGE|image]] of the company logo; make sure it is [[WP:NFC|non-free use]] if uploading. Do not use a [[thumbnail]] or include a caption, but include the file name without square brackets.
* '''image_size''' (optional): Specify the image size in pixels, e.g. 250px.
* '''parent''': If a [[subsidiary]], include the [[parent company]].
* '''status''': legal status, or active. Use '''defunct''' with end date for closed publishers.
* '''traded_as''': The stock exchange(s) and stock ticker symbol(s) of publicly traded companies, using stock ticker templates. Information about the company's status as a component of a major index can also be added. If there is more than one entry, use {{tlx|ubl}} to format the entries. A list of available stock ticker symbol templates is available at [[:Category:Ticker symbol templates]].<br />Examples: <code><nowiki>{{NYSE|DLB}}</nowiki></code> '''OR''' <code><nowiki>{{ubl|{{NASDAQ|MSFT}}|{{SEHK|4338}}|[[Dow Jones Industrial Average]] component|[[NASDAQ-100]] component|[[S&P 500]] component}}</nowiki></code>
* '''founded''': Year the company was started, if known. Use the template {{tl|Start date}}, as in <nowiki>{{Start date|YEAR OF FOUNDING}}</nowiki>
* '''founder''': Name of the founder(s); [[WP:LINK|wikilink]] if possible.
* '''country''': Include the country where the publisher is based. Do not use flag icons, as this places an unnecessary emphasis on nationality; see MOS:FLAG for a detailed rationale.
* '''headquarters''': City where the headquarters of the publisher are located (do not use the headquarters of the parent company, that will be specified on the parent company's page).
* '''distribution''': The distribution of the publisher, where its books are sold. Use regional if local distribution only, national if distribution is to an entire country, international if distribution is to multiple countries, and worldwide if it distributes books to anywhere on Earth.
* '''publications''': to indicate the types of publications, such as books, magazines or [[scientific journal]]s.
* '''topics''':Specify [[non-fiction]] topics, such as medicine, science, social sciences, psychology; the level of detail depends on the breadth covered by the publisher.
* '''genre''': If the publisher publishes fiction, specify the [[genre]].
* '''imprints''': If the company has a small number of [[imprint (trade name)|imprint]]s, list them. Otherwise, list them in the body text with a heading of <nowiki>==Imprints==</nowiki> and link to it using a within-page link - <nowiki>[[#Imprints|Many]]</nowiki> produces [[#Imprints|Many]] and will automatically link to the imprints section heading.
* '''website''' or '''url''': Specify the official website. Use {{tl|URL}}. If not specified, the infobox will display the {{wikidata entity link|P856}} property from the publisher's Wikidata entry, when available (see [[Oxford University Press]] for an example). To prevent the display of the URL from Wikidata, specify {{para|website|none}} or {{para|url|none}}.
