Template:Vgrelease/doc

This template is used in conjunction with {{Infobox VG}} to summarize release date information for computer or video game articles.

Syntax

{{vgrelease | 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: {{vgrelease|NA/EU|December 5, 2001}}.

date

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