Riddle: Carried by four edges, it tells a thousand words?

Question

Carried by four edges, it tells a thousand words
Most used and abused, it caters to the herds
Best not for stationary, nor for parked,
In my opinion, the gift should be marked
(But even when that is done it is often hidden
By that which is familiarly overridden.)
And when that chance to show it comes a cropper.
Just make sure it’s not a major showstopper.
