User Highlighter[1] (source) is a user script that highlights links to userpages, user talk pages, and contribs pages of administrators, as well as other user groups as listed below.
Disclaimer: This script is kind of old. Since I forked it several years ago, several users have made further improvements to the script, which can be viewed at WP:US/L.
