• |for= Used to briefly describe what the award is for.
• |alt= set to yes if there is an alt parameter which is used to show an alternative image.
• |nomessage= set to yes if there is not any option to customise the awards message.

• |cat= Category name (without "Category:"), if it is something more specific than Barnstar award templates
  • Templates will be added automatically to Category:Barnstar award templates,
  • if the |alt= is set to yes, they will be added to Category:Barnstars with alternative versions,
  • if the |nocats= is set to yes, the template will not be added to any categories.
