Template:Release

This template is used in conjunction with the infobox to summarize release date information for computer or video game articles.

Using named parameters
The following parameters may be specified to display release dates for multiple regions in a single call (however, they will not be sorted in any particular order):
 * NA=date: North American release date.
 * JP=date: Japanese region release date.
 * PAL=date: PAL region release date. (or, if they differ: EU=date: European release date, OCE=date: [|Oceania]n (Australia and Pacific) release date.)
 * INT=date: International version release date.

If it is desirable to list release dates in a specific order (e.g. chronological), specify each region with a separate call.

Alternate syntax
Using two parameters  


 * region: Wikilinked region name. For brevity, should be formatted as a piped link, e.g.  |JPN '.
 * It is also possible to combine multiple regions in this parameter, for release dates which are the same between several regions -- e.g.  NA / EU 


 * date: Release date (may be wikilinked for date formatting preferences)

Using three parameters (for backwards compatibility)  


 * region | ID: Name and abbreviation for the region (Japan, North America, etc.) to which the release date applies. This is essentially the same format as a piped link, minus the surrounding brackets.
 * date: Release date (may be wikilinked for date formatting preferences)
