Displaying Multiple Citations of a Service Ribbon

Multiple Service Ribbons Policy

Any general ribbon, ribbon of gallantry & heroism, or lifesaving ribbon may be awarded multiple times, but any campaign ribbon may only be awarded once. A gold star represents each repeated citation, and a silver star represents five additional citations (and therefore five gold stars).

How to use this template:

{{Ribbons|file name of service ribbon|width in pixels|number of times awarded}}

Service Ribbons are available here: Category:Service Ribbons Award Images

So for instance, just type in

{{Ribbons|Awards ServiceRibbons LegionOfMerit 2011.jpg|200|4}}

if you earned the Legion of Merit a total of four times, and you'll get the appropriate arrangement of stars!

Legion of Merit

NEW! You can also just type in the formal name of the ribbon instead of the file name: {{Ribbons|Legion of Merit|200|4}} Use the following formal names: Prisoner of War Ribbon Purple Heart Explorer's Ribbon Medical Science Ribbon Defense of Temporal Flow Ribbon Joint Meritorious Unit Award First Contact Ribbon Extended Service Ribbon Peacekeeper Service Ribbon Federation Cross Good Conduct Ribbon Distinguished Service Ribbon Silver Star Legion of Merit UFP Medal of Freedom Gold Lifesaving Ribbon Silver Lifesaving Ribbon Lifesaving Ribbon Galactic War with Borg Service Medal Romulan Campaign Medal Hobus Heroism Ribbon Ithassa Region Campaign Medal Gorn Campaign Ribbon Bajoran Campaign Ribbon Vaadwaur Invasion Campaign Ribbon Gorn Invasion Ribbon Grendellai Operations Ribbon Klingon Invasion Ribbon Gateway Ribbon TOSMA Genesis Badge Scotty Cross Neelix Award Nebula Bar Silver Palm Sheathed Sword B-Plot Award Russ Bar 3-year Member 5-year Member 10-year Member Locutus Award Sarpeidon Award Data Artistic Award Boothby Award Rising Star Award Kalendra Award Xalor Clan Xifilis Award Great Bird Award Prantares Ribbon Natasha Yar Pin Voyager Medallion Sisko Tactical Cross Phoenix Award Cochrane Award Pilot's Sextant Order of Valiant Heart Semper Fidelis Award Strange Medallion Black Cross Lwaxana Troi Medallion Staff Member of Year Award James T.

Let's say you've been awarded the Silver Star 7 times (wow!) and you want to display the ribbon at a width of 100 pixels. You'd type in:

{{Ribbons|Silver Star|100|7}}

and get

Right-aligned single star Some service ribbons such as the Explorer’s Ribbon and the Gold and Silver Lifesaving Ribbons have a special design in the center. If you don't want to block it with your star, use 2r and 6r to display a gold (2 citations) and silver star (6 citations) respectively, aligned to the right of the ribbon's center. For instance, {{Ribbons|Silver Lifesaving Ribbon|100|2r}} gives you

The template currently supports up to 11 citations of the same service ribbon, and yes, you can use this template to also display a single citation of the ribbon as well by leaving off the last number or putting a 1.

Here's how they all look at a width of 120 pixels:

Citations Ribbon Wikicode 1 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120}} 2 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|2}} 2r Silver Lifesaving Ribbon {{Ribbons|Silver Lifesaving Ribbon|120|2r}} 3 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|3}} 4 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|4}} 5 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|5}} 6 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|6}} 6r Explorer's Ribbon {{Ribbons|Explorer's Ribbon|120|6r}} 7 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|7}} 8 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|8}} 9 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|9}} 10 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|10}} 11 Silver Star {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|11}}

And here's how it looks in a service rack:

The code used for that:
