This is a documentation subpage for Template:Certification Table Bottom. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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.

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.

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.

{{Certification Table Top|caption={{sronly|Certifications}}}}
{{Certification Table Entry|region=Finland|title=Best Song Ever|artist=My Band|type=single|award=Gold|salesamount=32,682}}

Creates:

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

The following categories should always be empty as they represent erroneous usage of the template.

• Category:Pages using certification Table Bottom with unknown parameters (0)
• Category:Pages using certification Table Bottom with no footnotes (1)

The following categories are for tracking different forms of usage.
