Template:Vgregion/doc

This template is used in conjunction with vginfobox template to summarize release date information for computer or video game articles when multiple regions are present. Where no region segregation is present, do NOT use this template.

Syntax

{{vgregion | region = date or publisher }}

region

Shortened region name. See below for regions guide.

It is also possible to combine multiple regions in this parameter, for release dates which are the same between several regions -- e.g. EU/NA, however it uses a | instead of = between the region and the date, like this: {{vgregion|NA/EU|December 5, 2001}}.

date

Release date in Month DD, YYYY format. Example: November 12, 2011.

publisher

Name of the publisher for the region mentioned.

Regions

The following parameters may be specified to display release dates for multiple regions in a single call. The order cannot be changed, so if the list is out of chronological order separate calls have to be created.

JP

Japanese release

NA

North American release

EU(/PAL)

European release

AU

Australasian (Australia and New Zealand) release
