Feature color links for Administrators and Bureaucrats

I see a problem with AVID. It seems that I actually don't recognize the user and whose roles easily. I think it would be better if we have Administrators, Bureaucrats, and Moderators have their own color links. Here are the codes for MediaWiki:common.css:

Color links for Moderators

/* Moderator Color Links */
a[href$=":Nova"], a[href$="/Nova"],
a[href$=":FryLetterman"], a[href$="/FryLetterman"],
a[href$=":Tabit"], a[href$="/Tabit"],
a[href$=":Trevor807"], a[href$="/Trevor807"] {
    color:#0c62da !important;
    font-weight: bold !important;
}

Result:

Nova
FryLetterman
Tabit
Trevor807

Color links for Administrators

/* Admin Color Links */
a[href$=":Dison"], a[href$="/Dison"],
a[href$=":Compooper"], a[href$="/Compooper"],
a[href$=":LMgamer36"], a[href$="/LMgamer36"],
a[href$=":Doctorine_Dark"], a[href$="/Doctorine_Dark"] ,
a[href$=":Eternity_Media_Group"], a[href$="/Eternity_Media_Group"] {
    color:#da0c3f !important;
    font-weight: bold !important;
}

Result:

Dison
Compooper
LMgamer36
Doctorine Dark
Eternity Media Group

Color links for Bureaucrats

/* Bureaucrat Color Links */
a[href$=":Logarto"], a[href$="/Logarto"],
a[href$=":StarlightFantasy"], a[href$="/StarlightFantasy"],
a[href$=":Hb1290"], a[href$="/Hb1290"],
a[href$=":Camenati"], a[href$="/Camenati"] {
    color:#1dc82b !important;
    font-weight: bold !important;
}

Result:

Logarto
StarlightFantasy
Hb1290
Camenati

This was gotten and inspired by Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, a fandom site. (TALK•CONTRIBUTIONS) 17:13, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Abstain

1.  Abstain doesnt sound too bad, but isnt really needed. (• USER TALK! •) 23:09, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
2.  Abstain Same with what Charlie said 𝓘𝓝ℱ𝓔ℛ𝓝𝓞 𝓞ℱ 𝑇.𝓥.ℬ. (chat is this real????) 21:27, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose Not a bad idea, but a color link for admins and bureaucrats may not work all the time, especially when taking into account custom signatures. If there is another alternative to this proposal, I'll gladly change my vote. Additionally, leaving out moderators out of the equation wouldn't seem fair, considering they still have administrative powers and should be recognized for that alongside other staff members. That also goes against the goal of recognizing what role a user has. Camenati (talk) 17:17, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

   Did you look at Encyclopedia SpongeBobia? Go to ESB:Crew and see that the user links actually work. Don't forget to search MediaWiki:common.css in that website and look until you see that there is a code that I got and edited it. PS, I added the color codes for Moderators and fixed some issues. (TALK•CONTRIBUTIONS) 18:00, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

   I was referring to custom signatures like yours, Nova, Tabit, and Trevor. Camenati (talk) 18:08, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

   I think you can still keep your custom signatures like that. Look at the templates of admins and bureaucrats in ESB and there it is custom without having the colorized link. (TALK•CONTRIBUTIONS) 18:10, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

2. Oppose per Camenati. Also, just a reminder, you can't support your own RfC. Sonicfan19198282 (talk) 18:17, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

   Yes, you can. --Raidarr (talk) 21:53, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

3. Oppose per Camenati. I'd also argue that this isn't necessarily worthy of an rfc, but rather should have been a forum post instead. Eternity Media Group (talk) 10:25, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
4. Oppose per others. · Talk · Edits 08:08, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Comments

I agree this should be a forum post rather than an RFC. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to this idea and while I understand the concerns around custom sigs, remember - we all have user links on our forum posts. If nowhere else, this would be a neat little aesthetic update in that area. For the sake of consistency, I'd also prefer to see the color choices aligned to the role colors on the Discord server (AVID red for the Bureaucrats, AVID blue for the admins and AVID green for the mods).
