I’m trying to add self-service pronoun badges for my discourse, and not sure what the best way to go about it is. Seems like self-service badges don’t exist yet, so I’d have to hack something up. Best idea from a UX point of view is maybe create a special post and people could reply to the post wit…

I’m not quite sure exactly what you’re trying to accomplish, but you can create a custom user field and have people put their pronoun(s) there. What do you mean by a “badge”? Discourse has Badges, but I don’t think that’s what you mean, or maybe it is. If you do mean badges, then you can enable Bad…

Ahh, a custom pronoun field in profile is a good start. The problem is that I’m generally not going to go look at someone’s profile before responding to them. The reason I was thinking of doing it as a badge is to make it so it’s more visible… There’s “Allow badge to be used as a title” … which I …

Do I need to make a plugin to add that script?

No, just create a theme component and add that code (modified for your custom variable) and add it to the </head> section of the theme component. Then add that theme component to whatever theme(s) you are using.
