=== Parameters ===
; {{para|title}}
: Optional title for the table. Defaults to "Release timeline"
; {{para|subtitle}}
: Optional subtitle.
; {{para|align}}
: Optional value of "left" floats the table left.
; {{para|compressempty}}
: Compresses series of empty rows with any value to the year range of those empty rows. Use only where there are multiple long stretches of time where no title is released.
; {{para|rangeN}}
: Identifies a range for range coloring. Takes two years, separated by any non-digit characters. Up to 10 ranges are supported.
; {{para|rangeN_color}}
: Identifies two colors for a range where the second color is optional. The colors must be separated by any whitespace character(s). When one color is given, all years in the range will take that color. Where two colors are given, the first color will be assigned to years with a title and the second color will be assigned to years without. The default colors for a range are {{color|#0BDA51|2=&#x02588;}} #0BDA51 for years with a title and {{color|1=#228B22|2=&#x02588;}} #228B22 for years without.
; {{para|first}}
: Optional beginning of the timeline (unless before 1940).
; {{para|<yearN><letter>}}
: The year of release. For example, {{para|1997|<nowiki>''[[Angels Fall First]]''</nowiki>}} will render a row with the year and album title. Letters can be used to add multiple titles for a single year e.g. {{para|1988a|<nowiki>[[Ninja Gaiden (arcade game)|''Ninja Gaiden'' (arcade)]]</nowiki>}} and {{para|1988b|<nowiki>[[Ninja Gaiden (Nintendo Entertainment System)|''Ninja Gaiden'' (NES)]]</nowiki>}} will display a row with the year and both titles.
; {{para|<yearN>_color}}
: Color for a specific year.
; {{para|TBA}}
: An announced but unreleased title. Can take letters like {{para|<year>}}.
; {{para|last}}
: Optional end of the timeline. [[Help:Magic words|magic word]] can be used to set an automatic end year. For example: <code><nowiki>{{CURRENTYEAR}}</nowiki></code> (this year), <code><nowiki>{{#time:Y|-1 year}}</nowiki></code> (last year).
; {{para|<yearN><letter>_to}}
: Specifies an end year for a given item, which will cause it to appear as a range, such as 1943-1945.
; {{para|<yearN>_to_<yearEnd>_color}}
: Specifies a color for a given item that matches the specified range. Only works in conjunction with <yearN><letter>_to, such that an item with the year range 1943-1945 will appear as this color.
