Template talk:Infobox publisher

Imprints

Since this page is about publishers, it should have an imprints argument, yes? Also needs an example section for copy-pasting. WLU (t) (c) ^{(rules - simple rules)} 01:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

ISBN

I would also suggest the infobox has ISBN information included. It is a clear identification of a publisher. Iswikinumber2 (talk) 16:33, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

lack of name field is an issue

Given the article name may not match exactly the publishers name, or names if it carried more than one during the publishers lifetime.GraemeLeggett (talk) 11:08, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Flag icons

Needs to be brought in line with MOS:FLAG. Suitable wording from Template:Infobox company is, "Do not use flag icons, as this places an unnecessary emphasis on nationality; see MOS:FLAG for a detailed rationale." Nurg (talk) 23:29, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Images

What's up with the image handling in this template? Why doesn't it just take the raw File: input like every other infobox? czar 16:22, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

It was probably implemented before that was common. It is probably relatively easy to allow template to do either. I'll have a look when I get time. Jonpatterns (talk) 13:37, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Defunct as parameter

It would be better to have 'defunct' as a parameter, instead of adding year to status. An example using this parameter is Template:Infobox_company. Jonpatterns (talk) 13:37, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

@Jonpatterns: I've added defunct to the template. Status is more "Active", or the legal status, like a non-profit. Funandtrvl (talk) 19:44, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 22 July 2022

Let’s pluralize “Headquarters locations” because there may be more than one HQ location. 2605:8D80:401:898C:940F:4CEC:7861:DE2D (talk) 19:37, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: The definition for HQ is singular. There may only be one HQ at a time. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:19, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

"and age"?

Is it preferred to use {{start date}} or {{start date and age}} for founded, and {{end date}} or {{end date and age}} for defunct? The document isn't consistent. Nick Number (talk) 20:21, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
