Categorization

Unless nocat is set, the template categorizes the page in which it was used in a category "Certification Table Entry usages for X", where X is the region. This is used to keep track of template usage and to ease maintenance in case all certifications for a region must be corrected. See Category:Certification Table Entry usages.

If autocat is set, the table will additionally categorize the page in a category based on the exact award given. This works only for albums and singles, videos are not automatically categorized at this point.

Categories are disabled for certain countries following deletion at CFD; see the talk page of this template for details.
