Help request
Is the table on the right side of wiki pages on business (Ie. Spotify) that provides a snapshot of info on the type of company, founders, country of origin, website etc. automatically created if page is approved? If not, where can I find an explanation of how to create this type of table.

 * Hi Magsmith. Sounds to me as though you're referring to what we call an infobox; in this case . To use it in an article, copy the code under the "Usage" section of the Infobox company template into the article and fill in the relevant sections - any sections left blank will not appear on the page, so you don't need to delete them. It's a good idea to preview the page before saving it, to make sure the infobox is displayed correctly; assuming that it is, save the page and you're done.

The tables you are referring to are called "infoboxes". These are community-established templates, which are designed in accordance with specific genres and/or subject matter.
