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. Category:Music templates
