Template:Infobox-entities

This template defines the table "entities". View table.

Template:Entity

Unified display and Cargo template for statutory boards, GLCs, government agencies, and other public entities. Do not use this for ministries (use Template:Ministry) or political parties (use Template:Political-party).

Image fields

This template supports two separate image fields, matching the Wikipedia organisation infobox pattern:

• logo — the entity's official logo (shown smaller, 160px, at the top)
• image — a photo of the building, campus, or other identifying image (shown larger, 220px, below the logo)

Either or both can be used. If neither is set, a grey placeholder bar is shown.
