Template:Certification Table Bottom/doc

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

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

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

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
