A new feature introduced on January 27, 2010 is extended link colors. Original MediaWiki displays links in red if the target page doesn't exist, and in blue otherwise. Extended link colors adds a number of other colors for other types of target page. These are summarized in the following table:
| Color | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | Element | Link leads to an article about a concept (i.e. something non-tangible), or leads to a section or action on the current page. |
| Green | Cirno | Link leads to an article about an instance (i.e. something tangible). |
| Purple | Category:Lists | Link leads to a page related to organization, usually a category or disambiguation page, or leads to a page in the Special namespace. |
| Brown | User:Neko Kohaku | Link leads to a user page, i.e. a Kumizonian. |
| Orange | Category:Awesomesauce | Link leads to a page which is either uncategorized, is categorized only in orange categories, is in a category which doesn't exist, or is a non-transitive category. If an article is orange, it's probably not categorized correctly. Currently the only non-transitive categories are Category:Good things, Category:Awesomeness and Category:Awesomesauce. |
| Red | ((LongName)) | Link leads to a page which does not exist. |
You can switch back to the old "red and blue only" links by unticking the "Enable link colors" box in your account settings.
