Pensapedia can be a valuable tool for local businesses, and we encourage business owners and employees to create and maintain an article about your company with thorough, accurate information. Please use the following tutorial and guidelines.
==Information vs. promotion==
Pensapedia has a strict [[Pensapedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] policy, so business articles should avoid text that is blatantly promotional in nature. Phrases that make unverifiable assertions of quality ("…''widely known for its excellence''…") or imply superiority to other businesses within an industry ("…''the best widgets available''…") are unacceptable. However, awards and professional recognition may be included with cited references.
==Infobox==
Infoboxes are a convenient way to provide basic information about an article at the top of a page. We have created a standard infobox that will suit the needs of most businesses. (Some industries, like restaurants, have their own [[:Category:Infobox templates|specialty infoboxes]].) To incorporate an infobox in your article, copy the text below and paste it at the very beginning of your article.

You may fill in the appropriate information after each equal sign. If you need to use a line break, use the code <code><br/></code> instead of hitting return. If you are the copyright holder of an image or logo, please consider submitting it into the public domain by using the tag <code><nowiki>{{PD-self}}</nowiki></code> when [[Special:Upload|uploading the file]]. For logos, PNG files with transparent backgrounds are preferred. All fields are optional and will produce no output if left empty. See the example below:
