Code that you insert on this page could contain malicious content capable of compromising your account. If you import a script from another page with "importScript", "mw.loader.load", "iusc", or "lusc", take note that this causes you to dynamically load a remote script, which could be changed by others.

A guide to help you find broken scripts is available. If you are unsure whether code you are adding to this page is safe, you can ask at the appropriate village pump.

/**
 * Script Name: BoldMyName
 * Description: Highlights your own username in bold and color (default: bright blue)
 * on revision history pages, Recent Changes, Recent Changes Linked,
 * and your Watchlist. This makes it easier to spot your own contributions
 * or actions at a glance.
 * Customization:
 * To change the color, add the following line to your common.js file, replacing 
 * '#F0A000' with your preferred hexadecimal color code (e.g., #00AA00 for green):
 * window.historyBoldingColor = '#F0A000';
 * Installation:
 * To install this script, add the following line to your personal common.js page 
 * (e.g., User:YOURNAME/common.js) and bypass your browser cache:
 * importScript('User:Sam_Sailor/Scripts/BoldMyName.js');
