If you are someone who is fortunate enough to get a lot of awards, you might have trouble fitting them all on your userpage. There are a number of ways to handle this:

1. You can create a sub-page to dump all your awards into.
2. You can shrink them to miniatures and stack them.
3. You can remove them and only keep a count of them.
4. You can convert them into ribbons.

This page is meant to help you convert your barnstars into ribbons. In real life when you get an award/medal, you usually also get a rectangular textile equivalent to the medal, in a form of a ribbon. This is meant to minimize the space needed to display the awards, and a similar concept is employed here.
