Template:Wd-ceo/doc

Shows the current CEO of a company, using data from wikidata.

Usage
→

Normal usage is to use in the infobox:

You can specify the wikidata entry, but you shouldn't need to:

Changing the CEO
When using this template, you can change the CEO on Wikidata:


 * Click the edit pencil to go to Wikidata
 * Remove the old CEO by setting an "end time" qualifier ("edit" their entry in the CEO section, and click "add qualifier").
 * If you don't know when they stopped being CEO, click the three boxes (to the left of the text input) and set "unknown value".
 * Add the new CEO by clicking "add value" at the bottom of the "chief executive officer" section.
 * Type the name of the new CEO.
 * If they're not listed, you might need to "create new item" to add a new wikidata item for them
 * Don't forget to add a "start time" for them, if possible.

Doesn't fit?
For unusual situations (eg: there's a CEO delegate, or acting CEO), you could:


 * Add extra text
 * Setting "end time" on the wikidata entry will cause wd-ceo to display nothing.
 * You could then add additional text to the infobox as a replacement:
 * ie: Rick Astley (CEO-delegate)
 * or: Rick Astley (CEO-delegate)


 * Replace the template with text
 * Wikipedia should be correct, so make it correct and don't feel bad:
 * ie: Rick Astley (CEO-delegate)
 * If possible, set "end time" on the wikidata entry anyway (as this will help other wikidata users, such as wikipedia in other languages)

I tagged an executive chairman like this:

Why bother?

 * Corrections show up on other-language wikis: here is an example of the data being used on the French wikipeida.
 * Using start date and end date means we start to record a history of changes over time
