This template is used in conjunction with the Infobox VG Template to summarize release date information for computer or video game articles. It was taken from Wikipedia and modified to meet the needs of the Dragon Quest wiki.

Syntax[edit]

Using named parameters[edit]

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):

JP=date
Japanese region release date.
NA=date
North American release date.
PAL=date
PAL region release date. (or, if they differ: EU=date: European release date, AUS=date: Wikipedia:Australasian (Australia and New Zealand) release date.)
INT=date
Wikipedia:International version release date. See link to make sure you know what an international version is.

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