Is there a way to search for "stickers"?

Question

Is there a way to search for created stickers?  Are they included in categories?  Not sure.  I want to see if there is one for the Silver Star Medal sticker that can be placed on Colonel Scott's profile.  I have the category but was wondering....

Thanks!

Answer 1

[[Category:Stickers]]  should list all the existing templates that use the base sticker template.

an image of the medal is shown on the category page, but if you want it on a specific profile, there is a {{Medal}} sticker that was created for the highest medals that can also be used to display any medal such as the Silver Star Medal on a profile... but it is the reduced size, small box on the right side...

{{Medal
|image = Photos-271.png
|Medal = Silver Star Medal}}

if you want a larger image to display on the profile page, you can do it with

{{Image|file=Photos-271.png|align=c|size=200|caption=Siler Star Medal}}

align=l for left, c for center, r for right

size=number is how large you want the image

Thank you very much, Keith.  I will give it a shot.  (Haven't used an image with a category/sticker myself.)

unfortunately, yesterday I saw many of the stickers that people created and posted for anyone to use don't post anymore...

From the Help section, here are the rules:

There currently is not one for the Silver Star.  These are what is available today (template):

Medal of Honor	Mil_template_images-1.png	Medal of Honor
Victoria Cross	Mil_template_images.jpg	Victoria Cross
Victoria Cross - Canada	Mil_template_images-4.png	Victoria Cross
Order of the Medjidie	Mil_template_images-2.png	Order of the Medjidie
Legion of Honour	Mil_template_images.png	Legion of Honour
Pour le Mérite	Mil_template_images-9.jpg	Pour le Mérite
Commander of the Order of the British Empire	Abby_s_Tools.gif	CBE

It is recommended to use the Veterans Recognition Template:

{{Veteran Recognition
| badge-image =
| nationality =
| branch =
| start-year =
| end-year =
| text =
}}

You'll notice a place for text.  I would put the information about his Silver Star there, and also create a sub-section for it.

Maybe my answer was too short.  The links are where I got the information from.  For the Veterans Recognition Template, you'll fill it out something like this:

{{Veteran Recognition
| badge-image =Military_Badges_and_Insignia-6.png
| nationality =United States
| branch =Navy
| start-year =1972
| end-year =1993 attaining Chief Petty Officer
| text =Served in Vietnam and Desert Storm.
}}

You'll find all the images available for the badge image if you follow the link for the Veterans Recognition Template (there are a lot).

{{Veteran Recognition}} was created for wars that do not have a specific sticker made for it...  in this case, there is one for Vietnam...
