Multiple Service Ribbons Policy

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).

This template lets you call up any award or service ribbon just using the name of the ribbon itself instead of finding the exact filename. It also allows you to display multiple citations of a service ribbon.

How to use this template:

{{Ribbons|name of service ribbon|width in pixels|number of times awarded (optional)}}

See the List of Awards and Service Ribbons for more details about each award and ribbon.

So for instance, just type in

{{Ribbons|Legion of Merit|200}}

and you will get the Legion of Merit service ribbon returned at a width of 200 pixels:

Legion of Merit


If you earned the Legion of Merit four times, you'd type in

{{Ribbons|Legion of Merit|200|4}}

and you'll get the appropriate arrangement of stars! If you put your cursor over the image, the name of the ribbon will be displayed.

Legion of Merit
Legion of Merit
Legion of Merit
Legion of Merit


Use the following formal names:

Diplomacy Ribbon
Prisoner of War Ribbon Purple Heart Explorer's Ribbon Medical Science Ribbon
Defense of Temporal Flow Ribbon Joint Meritorious Unit Award First Contact Ribbon Extended Service Ribbon
Peacekeeper Service Ribbon Federation Cross Good Conduct Ribbon Distinguished Service Ribbon
Silver Star Legion of Merit UFP Medal of Freedom Gold Lifesaving Ribbon
Silver Lifesaving Ribbon Lifesaving Ribbon Galactic War with Borg Service Medal Romulan Campaign Medal
Hobus Heroism Ribbon Ithassa Region Campaign Medal Gorn Campaign Ribbon Bajoran Campaign Ribbon
Vaadwaur Invasion Campaign Ribbon Gorn Invasion Ribbon Grendellai Operations Ribbon Klingon Invasion Ribbon
Gateway Ribbon TOSMA Genesis Badge Scotty Cross
Neelix Award Nebula Bar Silver Palm Sheathed Sword
B-Plot Award Russ Bar 3-year Member 5-year Member
10-year Member Locutus Award Sarpeidon Award Data Artistic Award
Boothby Award Rising Star Award Kalendra Award Xalor Clan Xifilis Award
Great Bird Award Prantares Ribbon Natasha Yar Pin Voyager Medallion
Sisko Tactical Cross Phoenix Award Cochrane Award Pilot's Sextant
Order of Valiant Heart Semper Fidelis Award Strange Medallion Black Cross
Lwaxana Troi Medallion Staff Member of Year Award James T. Kirk Cross Sarek Star
Christopher Pike Pendant Shuvalis Diamond of Recognition Kathryn Janeway Award Picard Award

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|Silver Star|100|7}}

and get

Silver Star

Silver Star


Right-aligned single star

Some 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|Silver Lifesaving Ribbon|100|2r}}

gives you

Silver Lifesaving Ribbon
Silver Lifesaving Ribbon


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:

Citations Ribbon Wikicode
1 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120}}
2 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|2}}
2r {{Ribbons|Silver Lifesaving Ribbon|120|2r}}
3 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|3}}
4 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|4}}
5 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|5}}
6 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|6}}
6r {{Ribbons|Explorer's Ribbon|120|6r}}
7 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|7}}
8 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|8}}
9 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|9}}
10 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|10}}
11 {{Ribbons|Silver Star|120|11}}

Displaying Ribbons in a Ribbons Rack
