Forum:Customized Signatures for Administrators

I'm trying to create a visual way to distinguish comments made by admins from comments made by regular users. I found an explanation of how to do this via CSS, yet it does not seem to have any effect.

Granted, I was just futzing with it, and hadn't really decided on colors, but it didn't seem to have an effect at all. I'm looking to have certain users receive automated formatting in their signatures and/or comments to make them stand out from the rest of the comments. Is there a way to do this without having to make formatting changes to every comment an admin makes on a talk page? --Gear-Richie 17:33, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Try to put this in MediaWiki:Wikia.css and MediaWiki:Monobook.css .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote { background: #8B0000 !important; } .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote:after { border-color: transparent #8B0000 #8B0000 transparent !important; } .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote div { background: transparent !important; } //These top 3 control the background, replace #8B0000 with whatever color you want .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote {font-family:Kristen ITC !important;} //this controls the font, replace Kristen ITC with what you want .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote {color:blue !important;} // this controls the font color, replace blue with what you want.

If you want customized signatures for admins, each admin needs to put it in their signature line individually.--


 * If you want to add an element after the username, you could try experimenting with the following:

.comments li[data-user="Godisme"] div.edited-by > a:nth-child(2)::after { content: "Your Text Here" }
 * Not too sure if it's usable though.


 * Then it would appear that what I'm missing is how you edit your premade signatures. --Gear-Richie 17:58, December 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you want to edit your signature, just go to Special:Preferences and by the signature box, click enable custom sig. Then whatever you put in that box will be your sig.--
 * Thank you! Problem resolved.  --Gear-Richie 18:16, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
