Template:Can10k award/doc

Volunteers of The 10,000 Challenge at WikiProject Canada use this template to distribute Maple Leaf Awards on an annual or semi-annual basis (see the challenge's award page for more information).

To give out awards, visit the challenge contributor's talk page, create a new section with a title like "WikiProject Canada 10,000 Challenge award", and then paste in appropriate versions of this template. It must always be substituted (see the copy-and-paste examples below); if it is transcluded instead, links in the template will eventually break.

The recipient's username, and the awarding editor's signature and timestamp are added automatically.

Usage
Simple syntax:

Parameters
The type parameter determines which Maple Leaf Award is given. Entering,   or   will produce the original Maple Leaf Awards from 2008. Entering,  ,   or   will produce 2017 versions which are Barnstar 2.0 compliant and display better at higher resolution. Entering anything else will result in an error message.

For comparison:

The reason parameter is the reason for giving the award. It should summarize the recipient's contributions to Canada-related articles on the challenge. The text can include wikilinks and may be formatted with bold, etc., but please do not use coloured text or excessive formatting.

Examples
Copy and paste these examples, then modify them as needed.

Error messages
This template produces error messages like INVALID AWARD NAME for some unrecognized parameter values. If you are unable to fix an error message or if the template's formatting is inappropriate, try using.
