Template:Certification Cite Ref
Usage
changeThis 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. See {{Cite certification}} for the regions supported and parameters required of that template.
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. If this behaviour is undesirable, use {{Cite certification}} instead.
Usage example
change- Reusing a ref:
The [[Linkin' Park]] album ''[[Meteora]]'' was certified triple Platinum in 2008.{{Certification Cite Ref|region=Germany|artist=Linkin' Park}}
In the same year, the album ''[[Live in Texas (Linkin Park album)|Live in Texas]]'' was certified triple Gold.{{Certification Cite Ref|region=Germany|artist=Linkin' Park}}
Results in:
