{{userscript|name=Vote Symbols|code=User:Pythoncoder/Scripts/voteSymbols.js}} is a script that displays symbols next to users' votes, !votes, and closes. Adding symbols next to votes helps distinguish them quickly, through their different colors.

Now optimized for high-resolution displays!

History of voting symbols

There used to be templates one could use to put symbols next to their !votes in discussions. However, these were deleted as a result of many, many, many, many deletion discussions and DRVs (I might have missed a few), leading to the salting of {{tl|support}}, {{tl|oppose}}, and similar templates.

Voting symbol templates are common on other wikis, such as Wikimedia Commons.

To bring back this feature, a script was written by Ais523 in 2006. This is an update to that script which adds more icons and votes and takes out a couple of less useful votes that generate frequent false positives.

Installation

To install it, copy and paste this code into your common.js page:

importScript('User:Pythoncoder/voteSymbols.js'); // Linkback: User:Pythoncoder/voteSymbols.js

You can also use the Script Installer gadget to install this and other user scripts automatically.
