| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Certification Table Top. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is part of a set of templates used for creating certification tables for albums, singles, etc.
Note that WP:ALBUM/CERT recommends the creation of a table only when an album has achieved multiple certifications.
- Certification Table Top – for the top of the table
- Certification Table Entry – for table entries
- Certification Table Summary – for starting the summary section. This section should be used to specify certifications from regions which may include other regions. For example, European certifications.
- Certification Table Bottom – for the bottom of the table
If one wants to add more columns, one can create the top and the bottom on their own and only use the entry template.
Parameters
- The table includes either two or three columns depending on the variable
|format=. If|format=3col, the default value, the columns are region, award, and the amount sold/shipped for the certification. The third column can be replaced by a sales figure from another source. If|format=2color|format=2colthin, the columns are region and award. In the latter case the region column uses a thinner form. - The Top template receives a
|caption=parameter which should be used to add a caption to the table.
Usage examples
The following is a short usage example. See the documentation for the entry template for more details.
