Highlight username

Hey, do we have a script which can highlight your own username in a page? I remember seeing something similar a while ago but can't find that now. Can sormeone link it please? Thanks. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 05:35, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@The Herald: Not sure if there's a script, but a userscript wouldn't be super necessary; you could just put this in Special:MyPage/common.css:

a[href$="User:The_Herald"] { background-color:#FFFF00; }

Change the username in quotes to change which page gets highlighted, and change the "FFFF00" to any other hex color code to change the color of the highlight.

EDIT:After rereading, I think I misunderstood your ask; the above will highlight any links to your user page (as in your signature or any pings to you), but not any mere use of your username. That *would* require a script. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 13:45, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I'll give it a ago. I just want my name to get highlighted, especially in AfD discussions, just to avoid double !votes or avoid WP:INVOLVED when I'm closing discussions. Hope it will work for that. Thanks. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 14:06, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: It works just how I wanted. Thanks a lot. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 14:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PROD script

Do we have any script which can tell me if the article has ever been through AFD/CSD/PROD? — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 06:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
