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}});

See each of the templates for specific documentation. The template also uses {{cite certification}} for citation, see documentation there.
