Template:Infobox organization/doc

Infobox organization is WikiPartner's standard infobox for nonprofit organizations, international organizations, charities, associations, foundations, federations, unions, institutions, advocacy groups, professional bodies, and other notable organizations.

Use Template:Infobox company instead when the subject is primarily a commercial company or corporation.

All parameters are optional. Add only information supported by reliable sources. Empty fields are automatically hidden.

Adding this template to an article also generates WikiPartner Organization structured data automatically. Editors do not need to create schema markup manually.
