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.
