Usage

Simple usage:

{{Emblem | }}

More complex usage:

{{Emblem | | variant = | link = }}

Full usage:

{{Emblem | | variant = | link = | text = | size = | font size = | tstyle = }}

Unnamed parameter determines the emblem of which entity is shown. If the entity is not on the list or is spelled differently, a placeholder is displayed. Unless text or link parameters are used, the name of the entity is displayed as spelled in the unnamed parameter. Different capitalizations are accepted by the emblem picker, but not by the links, so be careful to check how the article name is spelled or create a redirect. Note also that some entities don't have articles written about them. Important: Be careful with species names! In some cases, the species name is also accepted for the entity name. Remember that not all members of a species serve or live in the same state.

variant determines which variant of is used for the emblem if multiple exist. Some entities may have, for example, a grey variant, historical variants or flags. Unless determined, a default emblem is displayed.

link changes the link of the emblem and the text following it. If “no” entered, disables links. If text parameter is not given and link is, the value of the link parameter is displayed as text.

text determines the text displayed after the link. If “no” entered, disables the text and only shows the emblem.

size determines the size of the emblem. Use standard wiki image size options. Defaults to 20x20px.

font size determines the size of the text after the emblem. Use standard wiki font size options.

tstyle allows further text formatting options. Use CSS.
