The reason I created this article, although there already is an article about different links, is that I wanted a concise explanation in the aspect of the colors. Mikael Häggström 15:52, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
This article doesn't say what color visited red links are. (Example, click on this red link (compare to this one here later), then go back and look at its color.) C Teng [talk] 18:38, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Should we turn external links green so they won't be mistaken for inter Wiki links? When citing sources it's easier to cite sources using green links. Some people put the inter-Wiki link color as light blue to link it as a source.-- I-405 ( <Free way) 00:06, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Where is the vector skin's CSS file? I can't seem to find it! (17:48, 10 July 2011 (UTC)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.15.8.95 ( talk)
Hey guys, thanks for this. I've sort of figured out how to use a custom style/colors for Wikipedia using this article as a guide. But instead of presenting a weird, nonstandard template for custom colors, can it just be the default settings template code that we can change ourselves to suit our own tastes? Cause I'm having problems changing some of the colors back to default. Thanks and I hope you guys understand - M0rphzone ( talk) 21:48, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I'm confused by the Help:Link color#Making links appear a different color just for you section. It reads:
/* standard link colors */
.mw-body a:link { color: #0000FF; } /* normal unvisited links */
.mw-body a:link:visited { color: #7F007F; } /* visited links */
.mw-body a:link:active { color: #FF0000; } /* active links */
.mw-body a:link.new { color: #FF0000; } /* new links */
.mw-body a:link.interwiki { color: #3366BB; } /* interwiki links */
.mw-body a:link.external { color: #3366BB; } /* external links */
.mw-body a:link.stub { color: #772233; } /* hovered links */
.mw-body a:link {color: #FF0000}
.mw-body a:visited {color: #00FF00}
.mw-body a:hover {color: #FF00FF}
.mw-body a:active {color: #0000FF}
It looks like there are duplicate declarations here? It's really confusing. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 00:20, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

16:27, 10 April 2013 (UTC)In the color table, the text describing light blue links mentions bright blue links. I could be mistaken but shouldn't it read light blue links. I am not certain enough to change it. Can someone check it please? I don't see bright blue mentioned anywhere else in the table. Thanks. Probing Mind ( talk) 07:23, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
I have a custom stylesheet, however, my color setting are overriding the visited red links. I want to keep visited red links red, so how do I change it? My stylesheet is located here: User:Andros 1337/vector.css. ANDROS1337 TALK 14:11, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
.mw-body a.new:visited { color:#ba0000; }
When printing a wikipedia page for reading in the bus or train home, the link won't show in blue. How to change that?

Actual Red Link is diffrent from <#CC2200... Actual red link is bit more darker.-- 121.145.243.251 ( talk) 14:27, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
The example links on this page point to Example and Exampl, but shouldn't they instead point to Wikipedia:Example and Red link example, since Example is a disambiguation page and Exampl redirects to the Example disambig, therefore not displaying as a red link?
I can't edit this help page since it's semi-protected, but if someone could change these, that would be great.
