Template:Badge

Multiple Badge Policy

Badges are similar to our Community Awards in that they are awarded for OOC participation and achievement. However, while Community Awards are bestowed on a yearly basis in December to recognize long-term achievement and outstanding performance among a peer-group, badges are reserved for incremental achievements or singular contest wins.

Players can receive more than one badge at a time, and can also receive a badge multiple times through enhancements -- a marker on the wiki that denotes repeated achievement. Similar to the star system used on the service ribbons, a gold tip represents each repeated citation, and a silver tip represents five additional citations (and therefore five gold tips).

-The Captains Council

This template lets you call up any badge just using the name of the badge itself. It also allows you to display multiple citations of a badge.

How to use this template:

{{Badge|name of badge|width in pixels|number of times awarded (optional)}}

So for instance, just type in

{{Badge|Halloween Avatar Contest Winner|80}}

and you will get the Halloween Avatar Contest Winner badge returned at a width of 80 pixels:

If you won the Halloween Avatar Contest three times, you'd type in

{{Badge|Halloween Avatar Contest Winner|80|3}}

and you'll get the appropriate arrangement of tips added to the badge to mark your multiple wins. If you put your cursor over the image, the name of the badge will be displayed.

Use the following badge names: Halloween Avatar Contest Winner Halloween Avatar Contest Runner Up FWPA Plotmaster Featured Bio of Starbase 118 Featured Bio Team member Graphic Contest Judge Featured Bio Nominee Graphic Contest Runner Up Graphic Contest Winner Top Sim Judge Top Sim of the Year Top Sim Round Winner Top Sim Set Winner Exellence in Training Silver Exellence in Training Gold Exellence in Training 118 Wiki Gnome 118 Wiki Admin

Multiple Citations

The template currently supports up to 9 citations of the same badge. You can use this template to display a single citation of a badge by leaving off the last number or putting a 1.
