Template:Certification Table Bottom/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

See each of the templates for specific documentation. The template also uses {{cite certification}} for citation, see documentation there.

Common parameters

[edit]

All the templates support the following common parameters:

  • |format=: The size and format of the table. |format=3col, the default value, will create three columns, namely region, award, and the amount sold for the certification. |format=2col or |format=2colthin create two columns, region and award. In the latter case the region column uses a thinner form.

Usage example

[edit]

The following is a common usage example for the set of templates using the default |format=3col. Examples using the other formats can be found here.

Specific parameters

[edit]

This template creates the bottom footnotes section of the certification table. It should not be used if there is no need for footnotes. In that case, {{Table end}} is more appropriate.

The bottom template displays footnotes about the source of sales/shipments/unspecified figures. To suppress one of the lines, set a value to the following parameters:

  • nosales – will not display the sales footnote
  • noshipments – will not display the shipments footnote
  • streaming – will include the footnote for streaming+sales
  • streamsonly – will include the footnote for streams-only
