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.

'''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 86 ⟶ 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
