This script adds a faint green background to any text that has been recently added, or added since you last visited a page.

How it works

  • This script stores a list in your browser of when you last saw a page. If you have visited a page before on your current browser (with this script installed), it will highlight text that has been added since then.
  • If you have not visited an article before on your current browser (with this script installed), it will highlight what has been added in the last 10 edits (ignoring reverted edits).
  • Reload the page to remove the highlights.

Default settings

window.highlightRecentlyAddedTextSettings = {
  color: 'rgba(108, 255, 18, 0.09)', // Faint green
  useInMainspace: true,
}

Installation

Add this to your common.js file: importScript('User:Þjarkur/Highlight recently added text.js');
