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
Examples for publishers
Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice - Standard
{{vgregion|JP=Nippon Ichi Software|NA=NIS America|EU=NIS Europe}}
Catherine - Call separated to workaround a rare bug where the publisher (such as Atlus USA) whose name is an extension of another publisher (such as Atlus) of the same game will be ignored and the publisher with the shorter name is linked twice
{{vgregion|NA=Atlus USA}}{{vgregion|JP=Atlus|EU=Deep Silver|AU=QV Software}}
Demon's Souls - Combined regions
{{vgregion|JP=Sony Computer Entertainment|NA=Atlus USA|AU/EU|Namco Bandai Games}}
Find a game that does this - Multiple Combined regions
{{vgregion|JP/NA|Publisher 1}}{{vgregion|EU/AU|Publisher 2}}
Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten - Substitute for when the WW region is used in Wikipedia. The idea is to use specific region tags as far as mentioned and use a combined parameter for the balance regions.
{{vgregion|JP=Nippon Ichi Software|NA/EU/AU|NIS America}}
Examples for date
Catherine - Standard
{{vgregion|JP=February 17, 2011|NA=July 26, 2011|EU=February 10, 2012|AU=February 23, 2012}}

{{vgregion|JP=February 5, 2009|NA=October 6, 2009|AU=June 23, 2010}}{{vgregion|EU=June 25, 2010}}
Find a game that does this - Combined regions
