Template:Certification Table Entry/doc

This template is part of a set of templates used for creating certification tables for albums, singles, etc. Note that WP:ALBUM/CERT recommends the creation of a table only when an album has achieved multiple certifications.

See each of the templates for specific documentation. The template also uses {{cite certification}} for citation, see documentation there.

Common parameters

[edit]

All the templates support the following common parameters:

  • |format=: The size and format of the table. |format=3col, the default value, will create three columns, namely region, award, and the amount sold for the certification. |format=2col or |format=2colthin create two columns, region and award. In the latter case the region column uses a thinner form.

Usage example

[edit]

The following is a common usage example for the set of templates using the default |format=3col. Examples using the other formats can be found here.
