==Usage:==

Place

<pre><nowiki>{{MPDRibbons|NAME=???|RANK=?|BADGE=?|DIS=?}}</nowiki> ''(Minimally)''</pre>

on whatever wikipage you want to display the [[Department of Emergency Management/Merits and Ribbons|merits and ribbons]] earned from the [[MPD]]. The following options are available:

<pre><nowiki>{{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=?}}</nowiki> ''(Extended - '''See Notes'''!)''</pre>

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.'''''

:'''What is "RANK"?''': This variable refers to your current rank in MPD. Ranks range from 0 to 8, with the default being 0 (Cadet).
::[[Image:MPDRank0b.png]] - Rank 0: '''Academy Cadet'''
::[[Image:MPDRank1b.png]] - Rank 1: '''Constable'''
::[[Image:MPDRank2b.png]] - Rank 2: '''Detective''' - No longer in common use and no longer supported by the template.
::[[Image:MPDRank3b.png]] - Rank 3: '''Sergeant'''
::[[Image:MPDRank4b.png]] - Rank 4: '''Inspector'''
::[[Image:MPDRank5b.png]] - Rank 5: '''Chief Inspector'''
::[[Image:MPDRank6b.png]] - Rank 6: '''Superintendant'''
::[[Image:MPDRank7b.png]] - Rank 7: '''Deputy Commissioner'''
::[[Image:MPDRank8b.png]] - Rank 8: '''Police Commissioner'''

:'''What is "BADGE"?''': This variable should be equal to your MPD badge number.

:'''What is "DIS"?''': This variable should be your division (SE, SW, NE, NW) or district (SE-4, NE-2, NW-4). Can be left blank for those with city-wide offices.

:'''What is "WM"?''': This variable refers to the "Weapons Master" ribbon = Advanced Pistol/Shotgun Skill
::[[Image:The Weaponmaster Ribbon.jpg]]

:'''What is "RO"?''': This variable refers to the "Radio Operator" ribbon = Radio Operation Skill
::[[Image:Radio_Operator_Ribbon_3D.jpg]]

:'''What is "ER"?''': This variable refers to the "Engineer's Ribbon" = Construction Skill

:'''What is "FM"?''': This variable refers to the "Field Medicine" ribbon = First Aid & Diagnosis Skills

::[[Image:Reconnissance Specialist Merit.jpg]]

:'''What is "PH"?''': This variable refers to the "Purple Heart" ribbon
::[[Image:DEM purple heart ribbon.jpg]]
:::The purple heart is a special award, given in recognition of acts of self-sacrifice with the intent to save a fellow survivor. Where others would have fled to save themselves, this person stayed to save others. The Purple Heart can be awarded on recommendation of the proposed recipient's CO of suburb command rank or above and is handed over to that recipient personally by the head officer of the appropriate branch.

:'''What is "VR"?''': This variable refers to the "Valor Ribbon"
::[[Image:DEM Valor ribbon.jpg]]
:::The Valor Ribbon is the highest award given by the DEM Command and is presented only in cases where the recipient proved himself to go above and beyond his line of duty and overcome overwhelming odds by extreme resolve, intelligence and team spirit. The Valor Ribbon can be awarded on recommendation of the proposed recipient's CO of suburb command rank or above and is handed over to that recipient personally by the head officer of the appropriate branch.

:'''What is "YEAR"?''': This variable refers to the "DEM years of service" ribbon
::[[Image:DEM 1 year service.jpg]]-[[Image:DEM 2 year service.jpg]]-[[Image:DEM 3 year service.jpg]]-[[Image:DEM_4_year_service.jpg]]-[[Image:DEM 5 year service.jpg]]

:'''What is "STATUS"?''': This variable is used to indicate retired or separated members. Defaults to 'Active' but can be set to any value of your choosing ('Retired', etc).

==Examples==
Constable Jones (Badge #666) has just graduated academy and waits for his assignment.
 '''<nowiki>{{MPDRibbons|NAME=Jones|BADGE=666|RANK=1}}</nowiki>'''
{{MPDRibbons|NAME=Jones|BADGE=666|RANK=1}}

Apletizer has been promoted to MPD Rank 4 (Inspector) in SE4, and also earned both the "Field Medicine" and "Scientific Achievement" ribbons.
 '''<nowiki>{{MPDRibbons|NAME=Apletizer|DIS=SE4|RANK=4|FM=Y|SA=Y}}</nowiki>'''
{{MPDRibbons|NAME=Apletizer|DIS=SE4|RANK=4|FM=Y|SA=Y}}

CheckeredOne (Badge #471) has reached the rank of Superintendant of the SE Division, served three years, and earned every ribbon available before retiring.
 '''<nowiki>{{MPDRibbons|NAME=CheckeredOne|BADGE=471|DIS=SE|RANK=6|WM=Y|HH=Y|FR=Y|SR=Y|CS=Y|RO=Y|ER=Y|FM=Y|SA=Y|RSR=Y|AR=Y|RSM=Y|PH=Y|VR=Y|YEAR=3|STATUS=Retired}}</nowiki>'''
{{MPDRibbons|NAME=CheckeredOne|BADGE=471|DIS=SE|RANK=6|WM=Y|HH=Y|FR=Y|SR=Y|CS=Y|RO=Y|ER=Y|FM=Y|SA=Y|RSR=Y|AR=Y|RSM=Y|PH=Y|VR=Y|YEAR=3|STATUS=Retired}}

Of course, we can't stop you from putting ribbons on your chest that you don't deserve, but that's a good way to earn yourself a beat in Ridleybank.
