Unless text or link parameters are used, the name of the entity is displayed as spelled in the unnamed parameter.

The only mandatory parameter.
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.

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. Defaults to 95%.
tstyle allows further text formatting options. Use CSS.
Examples
Basic example
{{Emblem|Federation}}
Note how the name of the entity changes when the given name is changed. Be careful with capitalization!
{{Emblem|United Federation of Planets}}

{{Emblem|Da'al}}
Some emblems have different variants:
{{Emblem|Klingon Empire|variant=grey}}
Different text
The text following the emblem doesn't have to be the name of the entity! For example, it can be a location within the entity, a person serving the entity, an agency of the entity or something else! Note how the link behaves in the following examples, depending on if text or link parameters are used.
{{Emblem|Federation|link=Narala}}
{{Emblem|Federation|link=Narala}}
{{Emblem|Federation|text=President|link=Narala}}
If link is set to “no”, the text won't be a link. Likewise, if text is set to “no”, the text is not visible at all.
{{Emblem|Federation|link=no}}
Federation
{{Emblem|Federation|link=no|text=Narala}}
