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 {{Admin service awards}} template multiple times to fetch multiple elements, arranged how you like.

Custom format values
Parameter value	Format	Example
`namemop`	Award name, using the mop naming scheme	a Quantum Custodian
`namemedal`	Award name, using the medal naming scheme	a Vanguard Administrator
`awardmop`	Description of the mop awardees are entitled to display	Quantum Mop and Water Bucket, now with 42% Dark Matter
`awardmedal`	Description of the medal awardees are entitled to display	Gold Service Badge and Gold Keys to the Encyclopedia
`imgmop`	Image filename of the mop awardees are entitled to display
`imgmedal`	Image filename of the medal awardees are entitled to display	Vanguard Admin Medal.svg
`imgsmlrib`	Image filename of small ribbon awardees are entitled to display	Adminrib20.svg

For example:

{| style="border: 2px solid black; width: 300px"
|-
| [[File:{{Admin service awards|year=1995|month=1|day=15|actions=200000|format=imgmedal}}<!--
--> | thumbnail | 110px <!--
--> | {{Admin service awards|year=1995|month=1|day=15|actions=200000|format=awardmedal}}]]
|
So what's that medal for? That's my service award&#160;– I'm
{{Admin service awards|year=1995|month=1|day=15|actions=200000|format=namemedal}}!
|}

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

Image alignment

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

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

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

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

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

Image size

For the most award formats, the |size= parameter specifies whether to change the image size. The ubxmedal, ubxmop, and smlribbon images have fixed widths (45 pixels for the userbox awards and 72 pixels for the small ribbons). The default image width for the medal and mop formats is 130 pixels, and the default for the ribbon format is 120 pixels wide.

Examples:

size=##px: Display the image at the specified width, selecting the best height to maintain the image proportions (e.g. |size=140px displays the image 140 pixels wide).
size=x##px: Display the image at the specified height, selecting the best width to maintain the image proportions (e.g. |size=x160px displays the image 160 pixels tall).
size=upright=#.##: Display the image as a percentage of your user preference (defaults to 220 pixels wide) while maintaining image proportions (e.g. |size=upright=0.50 displays the image at 50% of the user's preferred thumbnail width).

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.
