(Extended - See Notes!)
You can your user or character's name for the NAME variable, but the default is the page name (i.e., if added to the User:Liam_McFlear wikipage, then the badge name will be set to Liam_McFlear). The example on the first line will just display name, rank and displays an active status. The extended version will display any earned ribbons (see DEM Merits and Ribbons for a full explanation of merits and ribbons) but requires some editing, you must delete any entry that should not appear (such as PH=X| or RSM=X|).
