Displaying Multiple Citations of a Service Ribbon
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!
NEW! Now you can type in the following names to get the correct ribbon as well rather than the actual file name
Examples: {{Ribbons|Silver Star}}
{{Ribbons|Silver Lifesaving Ribbon|100|7}}

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|Awards ServiceRibbons SilverStar 2011.jpg|100|7}}
and get
Right-aligned single starSome 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|Awards ServiceRibbons LifesavingSilver 2011.jpg|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:

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

The code used for that:
