ALL POSTSExternal links are a different color than intrawiki links
<p>I noticed on the Squadrons Wiki that any external link present on an article has a different shade of blue than links that link to other pages on the wiki. I'm not really sure what's causing this. Example: https://squadrons.fandom.com/wiki/FAQ#References

<p>color for external (including interwiki) links is defined in the sitewide styles. look for <i>extiw</i> and <i>external</i> classes.

<p>This is normal, as stated in the first reply.
</p><p>You can use CSS to change the color of external links. Insert the CSS below into your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css or MediaWiki:Wikia.css page with your preferred value for the
color property.
