Usage

Just add {{WikiProject Companies|class=|importance=}} to the top of the talk page of any company related articles. Additional parameters include:

{{WikiProject Companies
 |class         = 
 |importance    = 
 |auto          =
 |attention     = 
 |needs-infobox = 
 |listas        = 
}}

Optional parameters

attention – set |attention=yes if the article needs immediate attention from experienced editors. Use only if another parameter does not cover the need for attention; this should be used sparingly. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention.
- This parameter populates ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Company articles needing attention.
class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, na (case-insensitive). See the project's quality scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |class= blank or omit the parameter.
importance – valid values are: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). See the project's importance scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |importance= blank or omit the parameter.
listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for Alan Sugar, use |listas=Sugar, Alan so that the talk page will show up in the S's and not the A's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see XIV:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell}} then it is preferable to add |listas= to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required.
needs-infobox – set |needs-infobox=yes if the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles. And can overwhelm short articles.
- This parameter populates ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Company articles needing infoboxes.
auto – This parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
- |auto=length – based on the length of the article
- |auto=inherit – because one or more other projects use this class
- |auto=yes (or |auto=stub), in conjunction with |class=stub – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template
  - Use of the above values (or value combinations) with this parameter populates ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Automatically assessed Companies articles.
category – set |category=no if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
