Sticker for Friendly Society memberships

Hello everyone,

Apologies if the following sticker idea exists already - I haven't yet found it!

I recently learned about an ancestor who was a member of the Ancient Order of Foresters (a Friendly Society). It would be great to have a sticker template that caters for this membership (as well as those of other Friendly Societies), e.g. Freemasons and Oddfellows.

Happy to contribute further if more info or ideas are needed.

Freemasons, oddfellows, and similar already have the Society Member sticker - parameters as determined, example:

{{Society Member|society=Freemason|post=Lodge Unanimity, 227, New South Wales}}

If you have allowed to use images for other societies, it would be a matter of requesting an expansion of the current parameters to allow for the new ones.
Thanks Melanie! Great to know.
Nice idea - am a member of the Ancient Order of Foresters and currently  the Chief Ranger (Chairman)  of Court Lifeboat  no 4390 Brightlingsea (Essex).

Profiles for Freemasons and members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows can use the Society Member template - see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Society_Member.

There is a category for the Ancient Order of Foresters (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Ancient_Order_of_Foresters), but looking at a random sample of the profiles in that category I didn't see any that had a sticker, so I assume one doesn't yet exist.

Thanks Paul. You're right - it doesn't look as though there's currently provision for Foresters.

Melanie, you mentioned seeking expansion for the current templates. Is that a different process to posting here?
