How to use this template edit
Type the following, replacing XXXX with the company's stock symbol:
{{B3 (stock exchange)|XXXX}}- Example
{{B3 (stock exchange)|ELET3}}
CVM code (defunct/optional) edit
If the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários code is known you can enter as follows:
{{B3 (stock exchange)|cvm=2437|ELET3}}
Currently the CVM code is not used, but it used to be required to get an accurate hyperlink. If the format of the hyperlinks change this might become needed again, so if it exists it is recommend to leave it.
Where to use this template edit
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 the traded_as parameter.
{{Infobox company| company_type=[[Public company|Public]]| traded_as={{B3 (stock exchange)|cvm=2437|ELET3}}}}
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.
Because redundant links are discouraged, this template should normally only appear in one place in an article about a publicly traded company.
