I've actually been thinking quite a bit about changes to user group highlights over the past couple of months.

Above all else, I believe that the main purpose of all of these CSS changes is to make it easier to tell at a glance who to go to with which wiki problems. With this in mind, I came up with the following:


 * 1) Remove the highlights for global groups. I mean, staff is already identified practically everywhere by the tag (which produces this: ); the VSTF does a job which should be appreciated, but not necessarily called attention to; and Wikia Helpers have a similar sort of thing to Wikia Staff going on.
 * 2) Remove username highlights for all local groups except admins and bureaucrats. This way, it should be easier for people to tell who the admins are simply by glancing at usernames without needing a color key.
 * 3) Change the bureaucrat highlight from azure to gold. Since staff usernames would no longer be using this color, I think it wouldn't hurt to apply it to bureaucrats instead.
 * 4) Add a comment highlight and forum tags for all local user groups.
