About text and templates colour

[ZuTheSkunk]

I have one little suggestion... links on the RayWiki (leading to the other page, not article) have same colour as the other text - is there a possibility to fix this, giving them same colour (or maybe even more noticeable) as links to the articles? It's a bit annoying that the arrow is an only thing that tells me there is a link.

Also, I suggest to change Templates with white colour, giving them darker skin; similar like Template:Game2, for example, but with white text. That's important, because on the white background, yellow links are too bright; on the black background, they can be too similar to yellow text. So, that's why my suggestion is to make black background and white text. It's the most readable version for me. I've done it for a test in Template:Character2, if you want to see how it looks and test it for existing articles.

I agree about the colour of external links. On Wikipedia, internal links are dark blue and external link are light blue. Maybe on RayWiki internal links should remain dark yellow and external links should be made light yellow?

I do actually perfectly see the difference between plain text and links, as it isn't the same yellow shade at all. What colours would you suggest?

[ZuTheSkunk]

Well, I think it can look like this:



1 - Normal text (unchanged colour). Colour:

2 - Article link (unchanged colour). Colour:

3 - Link (unchanged colour). Colour (it's the same as 1, I've checked this):

4 - Link (new, exemplary colour). Colour:

5 - Optional once clicked link (new, exemplary colour). Colour:

I don't know how to check these colours in HTML code, sorry...

So... what is administration decision?

[Hunchman801]

Well I don't see much difference to be honest. Also, I'm not sure what you exactly meant in your previous message.

Ummm... these first three colours are this default ones, which RayWiki is using right now. This fourth one is my proposition about new colour for link. This fifth one is not such important, we can forget it.

Fourth one is not very much different than other colours (they shouldn't be extremely bright and in strange shade, isn't it?) - but I still see this difference clearly. Normal text is yellow, articles' references are yellowish orange, and links (in my version) are bronze. It can be seen also in high monitor's brightness...

Can be done? It's better than leaving links with same colour as normal text.

PS: Also, I want to know what about changing all templates into dark colours.
