Template:Certification Cite Ref

This template uses Lua: Module:Check for unknown parameters (sandbox)

Usage

This template creates a full citation, including the ref tags for certification data from different regions. In essence it wraps <ref></ref> tags around a {{Cite certification}} in a specific manner that allows the reuse of these references. This behavior is used internally for {{Certification Table Entry}} and may also be useful elsewhere. However, since this creates non-standard citations, this usage is not recommended when not strictly necessary.

The template can also be used for reusing previous references or for reusing references from {{Certification Table Entry}}. If the region/artist/title/type fields are identical, the reference will be reused. This is a shortcut to using |refname= and named citations, with much less control.

See {{Cite certification}} for the regions supported and parameters required of that template.
