Pipe Highlighter is a user script that highlights piped links. It is completely compatible with BrandonXLF's GreenRedirects and Gadget-DisambiguationLinks.css which highlight links to redirects and disambiguation pages, respectively.

You can install this script on this Wikipedia by adding the following to your personal common.js file:

{{subst:lusc|User:ClaudineChionh/Scripts/highlightPiped.js}}

which expands to:

mw.loader.load("/w/index.php?title=User:ClaudineChionh/Scripts/highlightPiped.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");// Backlink: [[User:ClaudineChionh/Scripts/highlightPiped.js]]

Alternatively, you can install the script globally on all Wikimedia wikis by adding the following to your global.js file:

mw.loader.load("//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:ClaudineChionh/Scripts/highlightPiped.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");

You may need to purge your browser's cache after saving the page.

After installation, you can test the script here.

If you have GreenRedirects installed, or have Preferences → Gadgets → Tick Display links to disambiguation pages in orange enabled, piped links to redirect and/or disambiguation pages will appear like "|Link" and "|Link" respectively. otherwise, all types of piped links appear like Link.

The default color for highlighted links is Irresistible (  Hex triplet: #B3446C).

You can change the default color by placing the following code before the code you added to your common.js to install the script:

window.pipeHighlighterCustomColor='#XXXXXX';

Note that you have to replace #XXXXXX with the Hex triplet of your preferred color (like #B3446C for the default color). You can choose a color from Lists of colors.

Links like [[Ship]]s are also considered as piped links as there's no way for the script to distinguish them from piped links.
