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
To install this script, put the code below to your common.js and save the page.
mw.loader.load('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); // Backlink: [[User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped.js]]
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.
