Template:Vgr
This template is used in conjunction with the {{Infobox VG}} infobox to summarize release date information for computer or video game articles.
Syntax
Using named parameters
The following parameters may be specified to display release dates for multiple regions in a single call (however, they will not be sorted in any particular order):
- NA=date
- North American release date.
- JP=date
- Japanese region release date.
- PAL=date
- PAL region release date. (or, if they differ: EU=date: European release date, AUS=date: Australasian (Australia and New Zealand) release date.)
- INT=date
- International version release date.
If it is desirable to list release dates in a specific order (e.g. chronological), specify each region with a separate call.
Alternate syntax
Using two parameters {{vgrelease | [[region]] | date }}
- region
- Wikilinked region name. For brevity, should be formatted as a piped link, e.g. [[Japan|JPN]]'.
- It is also possible to combine multiple regions in this parameter, for release dates which are the same between several regions -- e.g. [[North America|NA]] / [[Europe|EU]]
- date
- Release date (may be wikilinked for date formatting preferences)
Using three parameters (for backwards compatibility) {{vgrelease | region | ID | date }}
- region | ID
- Name and abbreviation for the region (Japan, North America, etc.) to which the release date applies. This is essentially the same format as a piped link, minus the surrounding brackets.
- date
- Release date (may be wikilinked for date formatting preferences)
