Couldn't find this anywhere, so I thought I'd bring it up. When using the Preview button, red links don't show up as red links. They show as normal links and when the page saves, they turn red. Thanks in advance for any info. ---- Willie - HtS 12:47, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

I noticed this a while ago, but I don't know if it was an intentional change or not. Tagging {{Staff needed}}. To make these links red, you could apply the following to Special:MyPage/global.css or MediaWiki:Wikia.css on your wiki:

.ArticlePreview a.new {color:#C20 !important;}

Do you know if it would be a violation to the TOU to add that to my wiki's code and not just my own. The reason I ask is because I was made aware of this issue by another user. Thanks! ---- Willie - HtS 13:39, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for reporting this red links / preview issue to us. We've filed it with engineering and will hopefully have it fixed soon. --Dopp (help forum | blog) 18:04, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

@Mainphramephreak: Changing the color of red links on the preview is permissible per the ToU. --Dser (wall | email) 21:55, 2/9/2012

Thanks Dopp, for forwarding it up. Dser, thanks for the code! ---- Willie - HtS 09:53, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

I think this bug was reported at least a month ago, but maybe it will get increased priority now. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 10 Feb 2012 12:55 PM Pacific
