Club Penguin Wiki:Archive/Colored Names

To make it easier for newer users to find admins, I think we should make administrators names appear green (You may suggest a different color). The names will appear colored on all pages, including widgets like the shout box, the recent changes, histories, and most links.

Examples: Runescape Wiki, Grand Theft Wiki

Also, an admin name would look like this:

Seahorseruler

Sidenotice: This will only effect hyperlinks. If you have color on your signature or a different hyperlink, it will overwrite the green, so your signature will not be affected.

A vote on IRC in 20th January will choose which colour the admins will get. Everyone is free to vote, but as long as you are on our IRC channel.

Also, this is not because admins are cool and can show off this. No. This is so people can distinguish admins from other users so it's easier to spot them. "Unfair" is not a valid reason. Also, becoming an admin for the sole reason of a coloured name is also stupid.

1. Yeah, Ced tried this once, but I disagreed because he coloured every single right. But a nice green for administrators is fine, or green and bolded. --Tigernose Chat • Edits 18:12, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
2. Yeah. Dancing Penguin 18:15, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
3. This is a good idea. Like sea said it will be easier to find adminsEuropea^{I am so bored right now.......} 21:41, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
4. As long as my signature is untouched, I am FINE! --$harkbate ^Talk2Meh 22:23, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
5. Sure. --Hat Pop ^{Bunny Ears Rule!} 23:55, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
6. Im for it, but instead of green, i should say that orange is a good color for it... --You can't be too Careful anymore ^{HAPPY 2010!!}_{Last videos of 2009!!!} 01:17, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
7. Sure, but I wish I could become an admin again, because before Angela blocked me, I was an admin... That was too long ago...  :'( --Sk8rbluscat _{SMOKE ON THE WATER!} ^{FIRE IN THE SKY!}

1. --Brookelas ^Talk! No, too much work and that is not fair to the others... Maybe everyone should get a coloured name for fun, though. But only admins? Not too fair..

• Eh Brookelas, your comment is redundant:

“	No, too much work and that is not fair to the others... Maybe everyone should get a coloured name for fun, though. But only admins? Not too fair...	”
	— Brookelas

It's hardly any work, just some copy pasta, so that's not a problem. And anyway, what's so special about a coloured name that it turns out that it's unfair to others? You already have a coloured name in your sig, the only reasons admins are getting coloured names are for distinguishment not for recognition. It's not because we're cool, it's so that people can know that we're admins... --Tigernose Chat • Edits 18:47, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Per Tigernose. Dancing Penguin 21:05, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

How do you do this? I've seen it on the Harry Potter wiki, and I've been trying to figure out how to do it on the Fanon. --☺Happyface☺ ^{I quit, Don't Talk to Me.} 23:41, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Im not going to say because i hate when people steal our ideas. --seahorseruler |Talk (EditCount) Yoshi! 23:46, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

w:c:runescape:MediaWiki:Common.css/hilite however they do it slightly differently than how you'll want to do it, just copy that CSS, put it in your MediaWiki:Common.css, and change the names etc — Joey ^aa 23:57, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Your ideas? I've seen this on Harry Potter wiki. You've seen it somewhere else. Don't you think they don't like their ideas stolen? Geez, talk about assming good faith. --☺Happyface☺ ^{I quit, Don't Talk to Me.} 19:46, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Sea doesn't want to disclose, but like any person, you can go and check the CSS out for yourself. --Tigernose Chat • Edits 19:55, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean? Like, if I put Seahorseruler right here it would be colored? Or do you mean sig wise? --Teltu CHICKEN TETRAZZINI! 05:33, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Sigs are untouched, but Seahorseruler (as a link) for example would be coloured. --Tigernose Chat • Edits 18:05, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

• Sure, just one thing though. What about non-admin users who have green signatures? Otherwise a good idea for new users. Burpy678^{Thats Mama Luigi to you Mario!} 18:54, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Only links with an admins name are affected, signatures aren't so that's not a problem.

• This is getting like Club Penguin. Members get more stuff. Now here admins get more stuff. --Iamred1 (TALK|BLOG!|EDITS!) 06:53, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

(This is not a vote) Iamred, this isint some color we are getting just for the heck of it to show off. This is proving your power hungry. The point is so that new users can spot an admin easily. --seahorseruler |Talk (EditCount) Yoshi! 15:53, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Iamred1, stop being so immature. I wouldn't even want a coloured name anyway, but it's people know that we're admins. --Tigernose Chat • Edits 19:55, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hey does anyone know where I put it on the MediaWiki? --☺Happyface☺ ^{I quit, Don't Talk to Me.} 20:02, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Put @import "/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css/hilite&action=raw&ctype=text/css"; in MediaWiki.common.css --Zapwire 20:03, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
