Winterbash 2014 is happening!

But there is a conspicuous lack of hats on per-site metas. I'd like to see people wearing their hats when viewing a meta post.

To that end, I would like to have a userscript that enables hats on Meta. Requirements:

  • Show hats everywhere that they are shown on the main site, including user profiles and posts
  • It should show the hat that the user is wearing on the main site.
  • It doesn't need the ability to change the hat from the meta site.
  • It must work on the latest version of Chrome running on OS X Yosemite.

Is there a script that does this?

  • The start of an answer can be found at: How save profile photo with winter bash hat?. Stack Apps would be a good place to check as well. (Nothing appropriate exists there at the moment, however.)

  • Don't spend too much time on this -- I've asked internally yesterday if anyone remembers the reason why we don't show hats on child metas, and so far I haven't received any answers (I certainly don't remember it). Unless there is a good reason after all that someone recalls, I'll enable hats on metas soon.

Hats are now enabled on child metas, see No hats on meta?. Thus to answer your software recommendation question: I recommend Vanilla JS.

The nice thing about Vanilla JS is that it's really great at doing nothing; in fact that's all it does. I've been using it a lot (you'll notice that we – Stack Overflow – are actually listed in the "who's using it" section), and whenever I didn't need anything, Vanilla JS was able to perfectly provide all I needed.

And since you're exactly in the same position – you don't need anything, because hats already are on metas – I'm very sure that Vanilla JS will work great for you as well.
