User Profiles Support

User profiles are live on the Obby Wiki!

Set your profile picture, custom banner, social links, and more on your Obby Wiki profile now (see: Special:MyPage).

What you see above is my profile (as of now) on the Obby Wiki. You can see that I've filled in a custom PFP (profile picture), a custom banner image, social links, a tagline, and a highlighted article I wrote. These are all things you can do right now. See it at User:Wlft.

If you want to learn more about this and how to set it up yourself, view the blog post I wrote on the Obby Wiki: User Profiles Support

I wanted to use this highlight the feature-set for this extension (being IntegratedProfiles). Currently, the extension is closed source, but I'd be open to a public release if enough people are interested and wanted the features that Extension:UserProfileV2 doesn't already offer. Anyway, here are some features I want to highlight:

• Custom PFPs (obviously)
• Custom banner images, as well as 8 gradient presets (Accent (just OW themed), Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Midnight, Ember, Sand, Aurora)
• PFPs+banners are global (and would sync accross wikis in a farm)
• All profile configurations are handled through preferences, requiring no database/update.php script to install the extension
  • Also, all profile configurations sync between wikis in a wiki farm thanks to GlobalPreferences, which was installed on OW a few days ago
• Integrates with NewAuth, showcasing verified connections on a user's profile (if attatched)

Two features that I may be removing:

• Highlighting an article
• Linking wiki profiles (Wikimedia ID, Miraheze, Fandom)

If I see these widely used I will keep them, but otherwise they will be removed (probably within the year). I'd like to replace them with something that works better.

That's it, thanks for reading! If you want to learn more (including how to use it), read below:
