;Parameter descriptions
*<tt>series</tt>: Used to omit the "Original release date(s)" portion for entries about a whole series of video games. Parameter must be set to "yes" to work.
*<tt>article</tt>: Used to link the game title to the article's page name; produces a piped wikilink. Should be used even if the game's title and article title are the same.
*<tt>title</tt>: The game title—required.
*<tt>date</tt>: The game's release dates. Use {{tlx|Vgrelease}}.
*<tt>multiplereleasedates</tt>: Specifies if the date has single or multiple release dates. Used to format the "Original release date(s):" caption. Set this to "no" to display "date" or "yes" to display "dates".
*<tt>canceled</tt>: Used in place of "date" if the game was canceled. List the game's cancellation date.
*<tt>refs</tt>: Used to provide references for release dates. Will list the <sup><nowiki>[#]</nowiki></sup> next to "Original release dates:", "Cancellation date", or the "platform".
*<tt>release</tt>: Listing of systems the game has been released on by year—at least one system is required.
*<tt>platform</tt>: Used in place of "release" if the title is not a video game, but a spin-off title. For example, anime or manga series, radio drama, expansion, etc.
*<tt>notes</tt>: Any special noteworthy piece of information. (i.e. alternative names, special milestones, etc.) A bulleted listed is recommended.
;Other functionalities
