This template is used in conjunction with vginfobox template to summarize release date information for computer or video game articles.
Syntax
{{vgregion | region = date }}
- 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
