To highlight with a different color or style (default: red background), add this text to your monobook.css or vector.css (click Special:Mypage/skin.css and paste this text into a new line):

span.ais523hmn {background-color:#FF9900 !important}

CSS Notes

1. Note: You'll need the !important code in order to override the background-color
2. Note: Leave the "ais523" as "ais523", don't substitute your own name.
