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 Separator}} for creating a separator, e.g. for starting the summary section (can also use {{Certification Table Summary}});
- {{Certification Table Bottom}} for the bottom of the table.
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=2color|format=2colthincreate 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. Per MOS:HEADER, captions are required for data tables for accessibility purposes, to be voiced by a screen reader. The caption is normally hidden from sighted readers by Template:Sronly, to reduce redundancy.
