The "Mission" field was discussed briefly back in 2016 in the now-archived section "Mission" parameter vs. WP:MISSION. I agree with the OP there that the mission field as well as the slogan field, are just marketing and are not encyclopedic. Shall we remove them? If there is something noteworthy about either - e.g. really great marketing work or some other aspect, that can of course can be discussed in the body. Am just talking about parroting a company's mission/slogan in the infobox. Jytdog (talk) 21:41, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I had been thinking that these two fields are already gone from this infobox... but it is Template:Infobox company where they are not included. We should remove them from this one for the same reasons we keep them out there. See discussions there going back to 2009 to keep them out, for example here and here.

Note, have posted at Template_talk:Infobox_company#Mission,_slogan_at_infobox_organization to get more input before making the request. Jytdog (talk) 19:44, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Support removing them, per above reasoning. Lordtobi (✉) 07:58, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Support If there's something noteworthy about a slogan or mission statement, we can cover it in the article, similarly to the way we cover Googles "don't be evil" slogan. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 14:32, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If an organization is a political advocacy group. Should we be able to add a parameter: |position = [[]] to express their political position?

What do you think of adding a {{{location_map}}} parameter to the infobox? Unlike most infobox location maps, this would probably be best as a {{Location map+}}. Of course, it would be ridiculous to map every McDonalds store. However, for companies like Intel, or similar organizations with a couple of offices globally, I think this could be a good addition. Certainly, I believe in adding the possibility of doing so. A concept of what the finished product would look like:

Bellezzasolo, we already have this feature, it's called |map=. it works well with |float=center and |border=infobox in the location map. Frietjes (talk) 19:22, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Frietjes: I missed that one, I was looking for the wrong parameter names. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 20:10, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
