Usage:

Place

{{MPDRibbons|NAME=???|RANK=?|BADGE=?|DIS=?}} ''(Minimally)''

on whatever wikipage you want to display the merits and ribbons earned from the MPD. The following options are available:

{{MPDRibbons|NAME=???|RANK=?|BADGE=?|DIS=?|WM=X|HH=X|FR=X|SR=X|CS=X|RO=X|ER=X|FM=X|SA=X|RSR=X|AR=X|RSM=X|PH=X|VR=X|YEAR=?|STATUS=?}} ''(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:Marcusfilby wikipage, then the badge name will be set to MarcusFilby). The example on the first line will just display name, rank, badge number and district. The extended version will display any earned ribbons but requires some editing: you must delete any entry that should not appear (such as PH=X| or RSM=X|). See more examples below. Take notice - variable names are case sensitive.
