Template:Vgrelease/doc: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:50, 20 October 2010

This template is used in conjunction with the Infobox VG Template to summarize release date information for computer or video game articles. It was taken from Wikipedia and modified to meet the needs of the Dragon Quest wiki.

Syntax[edit source]

Using named parameters[edit source]

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):

JP=date: Japanese region release date.
NA=date: North American release date.
PAL=date: PAL region release date. (or, if they differ: EU=date: European release date, AUS=date: Wikipedia:Australasian (Australia and New Zealand) release date.)
INT=date: Wikipedia:International version release date. See link to make sure you know what an international version is.

If it is desirable to list release dates in a specific order (e.g. chronological), specify each region with a separate call.

Examples[edit source]
