==Description of fields==
No fields are mandatory but fill in as many fields as possible.  
* '''image''': An [[WP:IMAGE|image]] of the company logo; make sure it is [[WP:FU|fair use]] if uploading.  Do not use a [[thumbnail]] or include a caption, but include the file name within square brackets as usual and specify the image size in pixels (px) - <nowiki>[[File:Example.png|25px]]</nowiki> produces [[File:Example.png|25px]], the file [[:File:Example.png|Example.png]] 25 pixels wide.  Make sure the image is more than 25 pixels wide, the example image is 100px.  
* '''parent''': If a [[subsidiary]], include the [[parent company]].  
* '''status''': Active or defunct; if defunct, give the final year it was in business in brackets.
* '''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.  Use the template {{tl|flag}} to produce the flag icon (as an example, <nowiki>{{flag|Canada}}</nowiki> produces {{flag|Canada}}). Note that the [[United States]] and [[United Kingdom]] can be linked to using the templates <nowiki>{{USA}} and {{UK}} </nowiki> which produces {{USA}} {{UK}} respectively.
* '''headquarters''':  City where the headquarters of the publisher are located (do not use the headquarters of the parent company, that will be specified in 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]]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.
* '''url''':  Specify the official website.  Use standard wikiformatting - <nowiki>[http://www.example.org www.example.org]</nowiki> produces [http://www.example.org www.example.org]; don't forget to include the initial http:// or the link will not work.
