|---|---|---|
| Summaries | ||
 | The summary section is for sourced certifications or sales which are summaries of other sourced certifications or sales which are used in the same table. It is not for mathematical sum of sales. |
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.
