Template:Video game ratings/doc

Note: The Ratings field was removed from (Wikipedia's) video game infobox in September 2012. Video game ratings no longer appear in the infobox. The following instructions are kept for documentation purposes.

This template is used in conjunction with Infobox video game to summarize ratings information for computer or video game articles.

Using named parameters
The following parameters may be specified to display ratings for multiple regions in a single call (however, they will not be sorted in any particular order):
 * ACB=rating: Australian Classification Board
 * APP=rating: App Store
 * BBFC=rating: British Board of Film Classification
 * CERO=rating: Computer Entertainment Rating Organization
 * ELSPA=rating: Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association
 * ESRB=rating: Entertainment Software Rating Board
 * GRB=rating: Game Rating Board
 * OFLCZ=rating: Office of Film and Literature Classification (New Zealand); if different from OFLCA
 * PEGI=rating: Pan European Game Information
 * USK=rating: Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle

If it is desirable to list ratings in a specific order (e.g. chronological), specify each rating with a separate call.

Alternate syntax
Using two parameters  


 * system: Wikilinked system/organization name. For brevity, should be formatted as a piped link, e.g.  ESRB '.
 * rating: system/organization rating

Using three parameters (for backwards compatibility)  


 * system | ID: Name and abbreviation for the rating system/organization (ESRB, CERO, PEGI, etc.) to which the rating applies. This is essentially the same format as a piped link, minus the surrounding brackets.
 * rating: system/organization rating
