Usage

Basic usage

This template allows users to show service awards. To display it, place {{service awards|year=year|month=month|day=day|edits=edits}} on the relevant page where the item in italics is replaced by the relevant value. These parameters are required, and should not be omitted.

The template takes four required parameters:

|year= – Starting year
|month= – Starting month
|day= – Starting day of month
|edits= – Number of user edits

{{service awards|year=1995|month=1|day=15|edits=2000000}}

Custom formats

You can create your own format by combining the name, description and image of an award in any way you like. The |format= parameter values shown below allow you to fetch these parts of an award on their own. Transclude the {{service awards}} template multiple times to fetch multiple elements, arranged how you like.

Custom format values
Parameter value	Format	Example
`namebook`	Award name, using the book naming scheme	an Ephoros of the EncyclopediaEphoros
`namemedal`	Award name, using the medal naming scheme	a Sagacious Editor
`awardbook`	Description of the book awardees are entitled to display	floor plan of the The Great Library of Alecyclopedias, signed by Jimbo with a silver marker, and including its cardboard carrying tube and magnifying glass
`awardmedal`	Description of the medal awardees are entitled to display	Carbonadium Editor Star with the Strangelet Superstar
`imgbook`	Image filename of the book awardees are entitled to display	Ephoros.jpg
`imgmedal`	Image filename of the medal awardees are entitled to display	Sagacious star.png
`imgsmlrib`	Image filename of small ribbon awardees are entitled to display	Editorrib23.svg

For example:

{| style="border: 2px solid black; width: 300px"
|-
| [[File:{{service awards|year=1995|month=1|day=15|edits=2000000|format=imgmedal}}<!--
--> | thumbnail | 110px <!--
--> | {{service awards|year=1995|month=1|day=15|edits=2000000|format=awardmedal}}]]
|
So what's that medal for? That's my service award&#160;– I'm
{{service awards|year=1995|month=1|day=15|edits=2000000|format=namemedal}}!
|}

So what's that medal for? That's my service award – I'm a Sagacious Editor!

Image alignment

Use the align parameter to specify the location of the template. It can only be used with the medal, book, ribbon, ribbon2 and smlribbon formats.

`|align=` values
Parameter value	Alignment
`left`	Left, with text wrapping around the right side
`center`	Centered
`right`	Right, with text wrapping around the left side

{{service awards|year=1995|month=1|day=15|edits=2000000|align=left}}

{{service awards|year=1995|month=1|day=15|edits=2000000|align=center}}

{{service awards|year=1995|month=1|day=15|edits=2000000|align=right}}

Image size

For the image-with-caption award formats, the size parameter specifies whether to include the frame and caption, and/or change the image size. The frame and caption are shown by default for the image awards, but are omitted for ribbons. Userboxes have a separate frame and caption that the size parameter does not control. The size parameter is ignored for the ribbon format, though it works for the ribbon2 and smlribbon formats.

Small ribbons default to 72 pixels wide; other ribbons default to 120 pixels wide. The image on userboxes defaults to 45 pixels wide. The default width for the image formats depends upon the award.

Some example uses of size=:

size=NNpx: Display the image at the specified width, selecting the best height to maintain the image proportions.
size=xNNpx: Display the image at the specified height, selecting the best width to maintain the image proportions.

For the topicon format, the size parameter specifies the width of the top icon. Any non-numeric characters are ignored. The height is capped to 20 pixels by the top icon template. The default of 48px results in an image that is 48 pixels wide by 20 pixels tall. Set this to 20px to keep the top icon the same width as a standard 20px×20px top icon.

Caption customisation

The caption on the template can be customised using these parameters. The caption has two auto updating sections: one for the editor's title and one for the editor's award. The three caption parameters specify the text either side of these auto updating sections and the punctuation parameter specifies what punctuation character to use at the end of the caption.

Caption customisation parameters
Parameter	Definition	Default value
`caption1`	Message on template	This editor is
`caption2`	Message on template	and is entitled to display this
`caption3`	Message on template	(blank)
`punctuation`	Message on template	(full stop)

Example:

{{service awards
 | year=1995
 | month=1
 | day=15
 | edits=2000000
 | caption1=Hello everyone, I'm
 | caption2=and I'm now going to show off my
 | caption3=to the whole world
 | punctuation=!!!}}

Gives:

Hello everyone, I'm a **Sagacious Editor** and I'm now going to show off my **Carbonadium Editor Star** with the Strangelet Superstar to the whole world!!!

Note: the caption and punctuation parameters will have no effect on the ribbon formats and therefore these parameters should be left out (not blank) if one of these formats is selected.
