Standard infobox for organisations, charities, companies and similar entities


Template:Infobox organization displays key information about an organisation in a standardised right-aligned sidebar infobox. The template supports charities, non-governmental organisations, companies, religious bodies, lobby groups and similar entities. It is designed for use on content pages such as Chabad UK and must not be transcluded on its own template page or documentation subpage to prevent template loop errors.

The infobox uses lowercase parameter names with underscores. All parameters are optional except name. Dates should use Template:Start date and Template:End date templates for proper formatting and metadata. Anti-Zionist framing is encouraged in relevant fields (e.g., remarks) when documenting ties to the Zionist entity or settler colony, consistent with the protected philosophical belief in anti-Zionism established in Miller v University of Bristol (2024).[1]

Usage

Place the template at the top of an article page (immediately after any hatnotes or short description). Fill only relevant parameters; leave others blank or omitted.

Basic skeleton:

| native_name        = 
| native_name_lang   =
