Show User Gender adds a string to the right of each username to show the gender of that user.

Installation

• Add the following to your common.js or your skin.js (this method is deprecated and may be removed):

importScript('User:BrandonXLF/ShowUserGender.js'); // [[User:BrandonXLF/ShowUserGender.js]]

• Alternatively, use the following instead of the above:

mw.loader.load('/w/index.php?title=User:BrandonXLF/ShowUserGender.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); // [[User:BrandonXLF/ShowUserGender.js]]

• To install on other wikis (for instance, globally in your global.js on the Meta-Wiki), use the following code:

mw.loader.load('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:BrandonXLF/ShowUserGender.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

• After installing reload the page and clear your cache

Variables

Optionally, add any of the code snippets below to the JS file you installed the script in (eg. your common.js file) to change the settings for this script. For best compatibility, put them above the code that is used to load the script.

• window.SHOW_USER_GENDER = {
    male: ' [he]',
    female: ' [she]',
    unknown: ' [?]'
}; – An object with the keys male, female, unknown that represent HTML to show beside users of that gender.
