Hi to one and all and everyone else in between Before I ask my very important question - I thought I would mention that after only 10 months of operation, scn.wiki recently reached 2,000 articles!
Please keep that in mind the next time you want to slag off at Mr Williamson for supporting minority languages.
Now to my question. We recently noted that some wikis have set themselves up so that their internal hypertext links are not underlined (I think ca.wiki is one off the top of my head). Is that something easy to do? We in scn.wiki land think that it looks better not being underlined. Anyone got any ideas for us?
Thank you in anticipation - and as the Wiggles say - toot toot chugga chugga! Salutamu pippu d'a

Well, I prefer underlined links because when two links are next to each other you can distinguish between them more easily. Anyway, anyone can set it in their user preferences.

Well, if you want to force that behavior on your whole wiki, you can edit MediaWiki:monobook.css (assuming your running a wiki with monobook style) and add a rule on this model :
a { text-decoration: none; }
But, any user can do such thing with one's monobook.css (in User:name/monobook.css). Forcing the behavior or the style at a general level may be a bad idea because it creates a constraint the user is not aware of. One could prefer another way to organize things than yours.
Yes, but if the user isn't aware of that constraint, would they be aware of the reverse?
Pippu didn't say that it was just him, he said "we", so it seems that his sentiment is shared by all scn.wikipedians.
What about some Wikipedias making corners round? Obviously, not all users like that.
What if a Wikipedia decides to change default font, or make all text pink and bold-italic by default?
Certainly, it's their choice, and stylistic changes have in the past been made.

You are right! My answer just contains a kind of "disclaimer" : you want to make a global change, ok, let's do that but be sure you have a global agreement to do so". And, I think one may make such a change (link behavior) anyway, if he also take the time to explain why he did it and how you can actually reverse the change if you do not like it (I gave the solution too).
Long life to all links, wether they're underlined or not :)

Congratulations, Pippu (and all the scn.wiki community). Also, the quality of your 2,000+ articles is really good. So, keep going!
