This script adds customisable little iconslabels next to usernamesusername links based on the user's user roleroles on the English Wikipedia. Works in signatures, mentions, in page histories/contribs, and elsewhere.

Forked from [[User:Novem Linguae]]'s [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/UserHighlighterSimple|UserHighlighterSimple]], and uses 90% of the same code. This fork just adds a little div with an emoji in it next to the link, rather than setting custom CSS on the link itself - signatures are (in most cases) left in-tact.

== Installation ==

Go install [[User:Enterprisey/script-installer]], then come back to this page and click the giant blue "Install" button in the infobox on the right.

== Roles and symbolsdefault labels ==

The default labels used are [[emoji]], but can be customised to be any text (see below). The default labels are:

The default symbols used are:

* 🐣 → Less than 500 edits

* 📚📘 → [[WP:Extended confirmed|Extended confirmed]] (more than 500 edits, moreand older than 1a month)

* 🥇📚 → More than 10,000 edits

* 🧺 → [[WP:NPR|New pagePage reviewerReviewer]]

* 🕵️ → [[WP:CheckUser|CheckUser]]

* 🧹 → [[WP:Admin|Admin]]

* 🚬 → Former Admin

Line 28 ⟶ 29:

* 🩺 → [[M:Steward|Steward]] or [[M:Ombud|Ombud]]

* 🌐 → Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)

* 🤖 → [[Wikipedia:Bots|Bot account]]

The links are given a tooltip when hovering, <u><span title="hello">like this</span></u>, which states the full role.

The default symbol choices are a bit tongue-in-cheek - they shouldn't be taken too seriously. The labels can be changed to whatever you'd like - see the section below for instructions.

The symbollabel is placed in a tasteful semitransparent box next to the username - it should fit in well in both dark and light colour schemes.

'''Note''': unlike [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/UserHighlighterSimple|Novem Linguae/Scripts/UserHighlighterSimple]], this script adds new inline elements to the DOM (rather than just changing coloursstyles toof existing DOM elements), and so can make contents of the page jump a small amount when initialinitially loading.

== Custom Labels / Placement ==

If you don't like the default emoji labels or tooltip texts, you can customise them to be anything you want, including just regular old text.

Line 45 ⟶ 47:

<syntaxhighlight lang="js" line="1">window.UserRoleIndicatorCustomLabels = {

wmf: ['🌐', 'Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)'],

bot: ['🤖', 'Bot'],

stewards: ['🩺', 'Steward or Ombud'],

arbcom: ['⚖️', 'Arbitration Committee member'],

bureaucrats: ['💼‍', 'Bureaucrat'],

checkUsers: ['🕵️', 'Check User'],

admins: ['🧹', 'Admin'],

formerAdmins: ['🚬', 'Former Admin'],

newPageReviewers: ['🧺', 'New page reviewer'],

tenThousandEdits: ['🥇📚', 'More than 10,000 edits'],

extendedConfirmed: ['📚📘', 'Extended confirmed'],

lessThan500: ['🐣', 'Less than 500 edits'],

};</syntaxhighlight>

Line 73 ⟶ 77:

};</syntaxhighlight>

Then save your common.js, and your custom labels will appear (it may require a hard refresh or cache clear to pick up the changes).:

[[File:UserRoleIndicator custom examples.png|UserRoleIndicator custom examples.png]]

'''If you want the labels to appear ''before'' the user name''', open up your common.js file and add this line:

<syntaxhighlight lang="js" line="1">

this.window.UserRoleIndicatorCustomPlacement = "before";

</syntaxhighlight>

Thanks to [[User:Penultimate_supper]] for the feature suggestion!

== Bugs, feedback and suggestions ==

Line 84 ⟶ 98:

Either way - let me know if you have any issues and I'll take a look and see if I can get to the bottom of it.

== Updates ==

Now that other people are using this script I don't want to make many big changes, but I will occasionally when it's a safe, small non-controversial change.

* Nov 5 2024 - [[User talk:Bugghost/Scripts/UserRoleIndicator#Indicator before signature?|As requested]], added an option to enable the icons to appear ''before'' a user name, not just afterwards

* Jan 22 2025 - Added [[CheckUser]] as a supported role. The icon is the gender-neutral detective 🕵️ (unicode U+1F575). See above for how to customise.

== Todo ==

* <s>Add method of custom emoji choices</s>

* <s>More thorough testing</s>

* <s>Add installation instructions</s>

* <s>Add image of custom labels in use</s>

* Find out what you're actually meant to do once you've made a userscript
