- Parameter descriptions
- series: 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.
- article: 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.
- title: The game title—required.
- date: The game's release dates. Use {{Vgrelease}}.
- multiplereleasedates: 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".
- canceled: Used in place of "date" if the game was canceled. List the game's cancellation date.
- refs: Used to provide references for release dates. Will list the [#] next to "Original release dates:", "Cancellation date", or the "platform".
- release: Listing of systems the game has been released on by year—at least one system is required.
- platform: 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.
- notes: Any special noteworthy piece of information. (i.e. alternative names, special milestones, etc.) A bulleted listed is recommended.
