Description

The "classic" theme uses the same colour for links to existing pages and links to non-existing pages.

This Wiki.

Workaround

Change the colours in classic/css/screen.css

Discussion

I think the default behaviour of a wiki should be to visually distinguish between links to existing and non-existing pages, whether the user has selected "Show question mark for non-existing pagelinks" or not. Since the classic theme is the default theme, it should use different colours if there are no question marks.

• NonExisting

• FrontPage (exists)

Sorry, as you can see in the simple test, THIS wiki uses different colors: gray for non existing, red-brown for exisitng. I don't see where is the bug?

If you would like to propose better colors, please use MoinMoinIdeas etc. This is no bug.

• I checked the numbers and your are right. The colours are different. Shades of red and grey, virtually impossible to distinguish by people with a mild case of red/green coulorblindness, which is about 4% of the male population. Not a bug? Certainly a serious design flaw.

This is very important point, supporting the color blind - but its not a design flaw - we have "show question mark for non existing links" for that. We just have to fix it so it will work for all types of links. For most users, wiki links colors should be different but not too different. The current colors are very vivid red-brown, less saturated red-brown, and gray.

You are invited to propose a better theme, or maybe just a more color blind friendly CSS.

I think we should have nicer and smaller icons for all types of links, and use those icons as default. A good example is the icons used in mediawiki.
