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

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=date
Japanese release
NA=date
North American release
EU(/PAL)=date
European release
AU=date
Australasian (Australia and New Zealand) release
