Link colors
You can override link colors using CSS inside SPAN tags, but it's really ugly. For example–

But.. uhm, I dunno how this would work nicely in the layout you seem to be aiming for here. You'd almost have to pass two parameters for each row ("link_text", "link"). And then each row would have to be limited to just wiki-links or external links (you wouldn't be able to mix both). It's too bad there's no way to override the anchor tag styling via CSS (at least not without adding a new class to MediaWiki:Common.css). —Locke Cole • t • c 06:32, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Mediawiki.css code
Adding this css code to MediaWiki:Common.css would solve the coloring problem with the links. Thanks to Locke Cole for designing it. - Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 23:13, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
