Hi, I have a question regarding the
Default Style Sheet behavior: The internal wiki links in MediaWiki are either blue (click to view an existing article) or red (click to edit a new article). This coloring applies to the tabs at the top as well. We have a number of stub articles in our wiki that are showing their discussion tabs as red, even though the discussion does in fact exist.
It is only happening on the articles tab (discussion is red in color when it is not new) but it doesn't happen for any other tabs.
Here's an example: http://www.taxalmanac.org/index.php/IRS_Enrolled_Agent_Exam
Thank you.

That is pretty weird.
However I notice you're running a pretty old version of MediaWiki: http://www.taxalmanac.org/index.php?title=Special:Version shows 1.4.1. We've released several bug fixes and security updates since; I strongly recommend you update your code to the 1.4.6 release before continuing.

That is very strange.
http://www.taxalmanac.org/index.php/IRS_Enrolled_Agent_Exam
shows the red discussion
clicking on discussion takes you to
http://www.taxalmanac.org/index.php?title=Talk:IRS_Enrolled_Agent_Exam&a...
changing that url to
http://www.taxalmanac.org/index.php?title=IRS_Enrolled_Agent_Exam&action...
reveals the correct article page with a blue discussion link.
removing &action=edit gives
http://www.taxalmanac.org/index.php?title=IRS_Enrolled_Agent_Exam
which has a blue discussion link
I think you just need to start from scratch ^_^

I am reposting my question since we upgraded media wiki to 1.4.7 and are still experiencing the same behavior.

Your Template:Stub includes this code:
{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:Talk:{{PAGENAME}}}}
this appears to poison the link cache by trying to look up a non-namespaced page "Talk:IRS Enrolled Agent Exam"; the extra colon at the start confuses it.
