User blog:Jr Mime/How to Change/Add/Replace Masthead Tags (Such as Admin, Founder, Bot, etc...)

Hello :).

I've heard from a lot of people "how do I change the admin tag" "how do I change my founder tag".

Well, here's how!

MediaWiki pages
First, lets take the most basic example. If I wanted to change the ADMIN tag on an admin's masthead (such as Cörey), I would need to go to MediaWiki:User-identity-box-group-sysop and change Admin to anything I want.

There are multiple things you can change, and here they are:
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-adminmentor - Admin Mentor
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-authenticated - Authenticated
 * MediaWiki:User-identity-box-banned-from-chat - Banned From Chat
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-blocked - Blocked
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-bureaucrat - Bureaucrat
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-chatmoderator - Chat moderator
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-council - Council
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-founder - Founder
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-helper - Helper
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-staff - Staff
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-sysop - Admin
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-voldev - Volunteer Developper
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-vstf - VSTF
 * MediaWiki:user-identity-box-group-wikiastars - Wikia Star

However, if you do have a custom group, you can simply change the  in   to the name of your custom group listed at Special:ListUsers, such as.

Javascript
If you want to completely change what tags are placed in mastheads, it is possible with the follow coding. The script will remove all existing tags, and will replace with the ones you have choosen. You can set it to which person gets which tag. For example, I could add the "Not cool" tag to User:Ozuzanna.

Explanation
Let me explain what parts are important here.

Rights
In this section, you can add the variables in which you want to add in the masthead, such as administrator in this case. You simply need to add a new line, under the existing ones, with the coding.

User
In this long section, this is where you can add which user has which tag. Each line must contain the code above. You can replace Someone is an admin by the name of the admin. Make sure you have ' ' around the name. the  at the end displays which name you have picked in the variables explained above. If you want to have multiple names, simply add a comma after the admin, such as.

For the simple way of changing masthead tags, here is an example. I have replaced the "Founder" tag by "The Uber Duper Cool Founder!".

Script
The script, however, will completely restart the masthead tags. You can now add colors, links, custom names/tags to it. Here's an example which includes the "Bureaucrat" and the "VSTF" tags:
