Admin Forum:Giving tags to other users

Is it possible to give tags to non-admins? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 06:04, June 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * What do you mean by "tags"? --  Random Time  06:07, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * In the profile, on the top. (where its written Admin) — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 06:23, June 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * That would be against the TOUs I'd say, sadly. ;) STARFLEET ACADEMY 07:35, June 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Which part of the TOU ? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 07:38, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Why would that be a TOU violation? I'd say there are quite a few legitimate uses for those.

Anyway, to answer the question, you can use this: // // END LIST OF ACCOUNTS GIVEN EXTRA USER RIGHTS ICONS


 * Where should I put it? Is there any code for a general user group, like one for rollback, one for autoconfirmed, etc... — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 08:09, June 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * It should go in Wikia.js. The code I posted was a truncated version of the one I've seen used, but with the same function. This is the original:

//
 * You can add custom sections to that as well. Also, I'm not sure if this works for users with no extended rights at all. I see no reason why it wouldn't, but I'm not sure.
 * In MediaWiki:Common.js? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 08:33, June 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think Monobook handles rights icons. I would put it in MediaWiki:Wikia.js.


 * Dzylon is correct, it should be in Wikia.js. Also, please use the disclaimer for the original script. This script is not to be used to replace Wikia's default user tags. It should only be used to add tags. Replacing Wikia's default tags could be a violation of the ToU; adding to them should not. Rappy 08:51, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, sorry about that. I wasn't aware the original code had been updated.


 * Sorry UltimateSupreme. I couldn't remember why Rappy once said it could be a TOU violation, and I was too lazy to find it on ATW. Very helpful to me as it happens. Thanks Rappy for the clarification! :) STARFLEET ACADEMY 09:13, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Isn't there an easy way like MediaWiki:User-identity-box-group-sysop? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 09:30, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * No? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 11:14, June 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * The system message you're referring to just changes what the tag says, it does not add any additional tags, nor does it assign it to anyone (that's done via what user rights are assigned) Utter solitude 11:23, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, as a related question, I have been trying to implement this code into the Once Upon a Time wik, however, I am unable to get it to work. Any tips would be appreciated. Utter solitude 11:46, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I want a tag for rollback and autoconfirmed users too — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 12:04, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
