Directions
This is my version of the Sidebar template for characters. For a floating version of this that stays on the side of the page (useful for loooooong pages) check out Template:KolkFI.
It can use any of the major Pips. If you want the "FI" (Future Imperfect) combadge-pips, but you run across a rank I haven't uploaded yet, I do have them (Unfortunately, the creator didn't make Marine ranks, but I've contacted him and requested them, so they may become available in the future.), so just leave a message on my talk page and I'll upload it for you a.s.a.p. I'm on the wiki almost every day.
To use the template, type the following on the top of your character page:
{{LCARS-Sidebar
|Color = Color (use Maroon, Red, Orange, Gold, Olive, Green, Teal, Blue,
\-> Navy, Violet, Black, Silver, Off-White, White, Pink, Dust, or Brown)
|Rank = Rank (optional: if blank, defaults to Civilian pips with no title atop)
|Style = Pip Style (use DS9, STO, FI, Slanted, or leave blank for default)
|FirstName = Jane
|NickName = Janey (optional)
|LastName = Doe (optional)
|Image = Filename.jpg/.png (optional - Type None if you want a place-keeping image [see example],
\-> don't include if you want no image at all)
|ImageCrop = {{Crop|Filename.jpg/.png|new width|new height|vertical position adjustment|horizontal position adjustment|zoom|link=}} (optional - don't include unless you need to crop your
\-> image, in which case do not use the above "|Image =" line)
|Post = Captain's Pet
|Ship = USS Steampunk (optional)
|ShipImage = FileName.jpg (optional)
|ShipReg = NCC-ID10T (optional)
|UserName = Jane Doe (optional
|Extra = *'''Whatever You Want''' (optional)
|Species = Zakdorn (optional)
|Gender = Male (optional)
|BirthYear = 2377 (optional)
|BirthMonth = 04 (optional)
|BirthDate = 12 (optional)
|BirthPlace = Space, the Final Frontier (optional)
}}
Any optional variables (Species, Gender, Ship, etc.) that you don't want to use can just be left out, as in don't even bother including them; they're extraneous.
