The size parameter is used to specify whether to include the frame and caption. Add "size=frameless" to display just the picture on its own if this is desired; otherwise leave out the parameter so the frame and caption will be included.
| Parameter | Definition | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| location | location of template | left |
| Format | Type of template desired | medal |
| Size | Size of template | frame |
Note: the location parameter is used only in the medal, book and ribbon formats and the size parameter is used only in the medal and book formats. They will have no effect on the other formats and therefore these parameters should be left out (not blank) if other formats are selected.
Caption Customisation[change source]
The caption on the template can be customised using these parameters. The caption has two auto updating sections: one for the editor's title and one for the editor's award. The three caption parameters specify the text either side of these auto updating sections and the punctuation parameter specifies what punctuation character to use at the end of the caption.
| Parameter | Definition | Default Value |

| Caption1 | Message on template | This editor is |
| Caption2 | Message on template | and is entitled to display this |

Note: the caption and punctuation parameters will have no effect on the ribbon format and therefore these parameters should be left out (not blank) if this format is selected.
