For example, the code {{#invoke:VgData|main|ct=platform|col=3|DC|DS|GBA|GBC|Wii}} will output the following table:
| DC | Dreamcast | DS | Nintendo DS, DSiWare, iQue DS | GBA | Game Boy Advance, iQue GBA |
| GBC | Game Boy Color | Wii | Wii, WiiWare, Wii Virtual Console |
Parameters
[edit]Each parameter must be pipe-separated, and should be listed immediately after {{#invoke:VgData|main|}}. Each parameter is in parameter=value notation. The following supported parameters are used by this template:
ct: This is used to select the type of table you want to create. This element will always beplatformfor this table typecol: This sets the number of column-pairs you want the table to use (setting this to 2 will create a 4 column table). If not included, this value defaults to 3
Terms
[edit]After all the parameters come the specific input terms you want to add to the table. The platform table has the most specific terms of the 3 table types. Each term must be pipe-separated, and should have the exact spelling, capitalization, and punctuation to ensure the module outputs correctly. All input terms can be seen in the table at the top of the page.
