[Mediawiki-l] Red links

You can change the color (by going into the coding). At Wikinfo we use a
green link which shows up well. But even the red can be deepened. Red seems
right now for Wikipedia as it is a rather jarring color and stands out.

Black would seem to be indistinguishable from ordinary unlinked text.
