Not solid highlight
Perhaps other ways of highlighting exist. Need to experiment (enable on ru.test.wikia.com please).
 * border-highlight **.***.wikia.com would be nice
 * links should be highlighted equally - in "blue"
 * "lime" can be used for external links
 * tags (nowiki/pre/div/etc.) with own highlight-color will be nice //when one is inside the other (div/div, etc.) same-color-highlight does not work

Personally I find it hard to read when the text changes color from white to color or color-color. Need to smooth out this effect. I can offer not only to use solid background highlight (instead of nowiki tag).
