[edit] Example, flags

Does anyone want to include syntax or write an example for the template? Also, did this template use country flags in the past? I've seen some edits changing flags to text and vice versa - anyone know more, and what the current best practice is? --GargoyleMT 22:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New parameters

I've added named parameters to this template so that release dates for multiple regions can be specified in a single call (while still allowing the old calling syntax). Hope I didn't break anything too badly... --Stratadrake 04:42, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Europe or PAL?

Should we be entering "PAL region" or "Europe" for the location fields?—Loveはドコ? (talkcontribs) 20:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

PAL in general cases; Europe if the European and Australasian dates differ. I've added support for the PAL region into the template. Kariteh 09:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese?

For example, CN Release? TW Release? HK Release? (KyoriAsh (talk) 04:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC))

From WP:VG/DATE: "Release dates should be provided from primarily English-speaking regions, including North America, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand. If the video game is first released in a non-English country, commonly in Japan, then that should also be stated ... Releases in non-English countries should not be included in the infobox (unless it is first released in a non-English country), but if determined to be necessary to include, can be discussed further in the article's body." --Silver Edge (talk) 06:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I mean those chinese games... well, whatever, other language of wikipedia seems does not have similar videogame project... (KyoriAsh (talk) 17:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC))
If a game was released in Taiwan or Hong Kong first, you can use the alternate syntax, e.g.:
{{vgrelease | [[Taiwan|TW]] | date }}
{{vgrelease | Hong Kong | HK | date }}. --Silver Edge (talk) 18:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
