Where to use this template
This template should only appear once in any article. Usually, the best location for this template is in an infobox about the company, such as {{Infobox company}}, at the top of the article, if one exists. Include this template in parentheses on the traded_as line below company_type:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
| Company type | Public |
|---|---|
| LSE: BARC |
</syntaxhighlight>
In some legacy usages, this template may be found in first sentence of the article. It's encouraged to move it to an infobox, in accordance with Ticker symbols in article leads and the community RFC.
Because redundant links are discouraged, this template should normally only appear in one place in an article about a publicly traded company.
