[edit] Layout

• Do NOT bold the ticker. - Jerryseinfeld 21:45, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Do NOT put a space on either side of the colon (:). - Jerryseinfeld 22:22, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• You wanna update Nasdaq template to make it uniform?

[edit] Source

Why was the link changed from Yahoo to nyse.com? The information lacks. - Jerryseinfeld 21:47, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Do you work for Yahoo!?
  • See Nasdaq template1 and Nasdaq template2.

[edit] Should template:nyse be used on NASDAQ-listed stocks?

There is a disagreement over whether Template:Nyse should be used on NASDAQ-listed stocks. Please see Template talk:Infobox Company. Rhobite 00:12, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Short version?

Is there a "short version" of Template:Nyse, like Template:Ndaq for NASDAQ links instead of Template:Nasdaq? tregoweth 02:20, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

As per the precedent of Template:Nasdaq & Template:Ndaq, as well as Template:Tsx and Template:Tsx2, I have created Template:Nyse2 for use in instances when auto-categorization to Category:Companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange is not desirable. Kurieeto 23:52, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Please do not remove the category from this template, it breaks hundreds of company articles. Use Template:Nyse2. Rhobite 15:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Parentheses

I suggest that we do not include parentheses here, in order to better combine with similar templates. For example: (NYSE: SNE, TYO: 6758) Shawnc 15:35, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reason for bold?

If the reason is uniformity, then all the other ticker symbol templates should be changed so as not to be bold either. This makes the ticker symbol stand out inappropriately from the rest of the text. It is often a parenthetical addition and is by no means as as important as the leading line title, or defining a term in an article. If an editor wants it to be bold in one of the rare cases where it would be appropriate in an article, then that boldness can be formatted without including it in the template itself. -- Centrx 18:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Totally for uniformity, I'm not particularly fussed whether they're bold or not, I just noticed on the HSBC article as 4 of the 5 listings have bold in their templates. All I would say is that they all should be the same either way. Ian3055 18:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Do you know if we could get a bot to do this, there are three or four dozen templates in Category:Ticker symbol templates... -- Centrx 22:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm leaning towards unbolding them for the reasons given by Centrx. The most important thing is uniformity, of course. You could probably use something like Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser to do this, but you may need a little regex knowledge. Rhobite 22:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I have unbolded all of the templates. —Centrx→talk • 04:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
