This userscript adds the text links (no icons) from the vector user menu dropdown to the header and sticky header so that the user menu doesn't need to be opened to use the buttons. These links resemble what was previously available in the topbar in vector legacy.

It is ideal for lage width screens where the header appears empty and you often need to open the dropdown menu, or if you wish to replicate the style of user links available through vector legacy.
