Where to use this template

The best location for this template is in an infobox about the company, such as {{Infobox company}}, at the top of the article, if one exists. Include this template in traded_as field:

{{Infobox company
| company_type=[[Public company|Public]]
| traded_as={{SEHK|0941}}<br>{{NYSE|CHL}}
}}

In some legacy usages, this template may be found in first sentence of the article. It's encouraged to move it to an infobox, in accordance with Ticker symbols in article leads and the community RFC.
