So, we're looking to change the link colors on the wiki, as several people have complained about it being hard to tell the difference between non redlinks and redlinks, as they are both red.

We've come up with a few ideas, including purple, blue, green, orange, and gold. Obviously, we are up for more than these colors. @retep998 and I are leaning way far away from green, orange and purple, as purple is just insanely clashing, green is too christmasy (I know, me, against Christmas-like stuff? Strange...), and orange is just plain awful.

Retep has been giving me an insane amount of puush links for various colors and pages:

Blue

http://puu.sh/bbRvb.png
http://puu.sh/bbSjj.png
http://puu.sh/bbSEP.png
http://puu.sh/bbTnB.png

Green

http://puu.sh/bbN9t.png
http://puu.sh/bbNmR.png (and bolded)
http://puu.sh/bbNzd.png
http://puu.sh/bbRmU.png

Gold

Purple

http://puu.sh/bbW30.png
http://puu.sh/bbW4W.png
http://puu.sh/bbW5L.png

Orange
http://puu.sh/bbNgL.png

We would greatly appreciate feedback and stuff for this, as we are having a very hard time deciding. Also, if you want to play around with some colors: http://puu.sh/bbUfs.txt

Aaaand if anyone gets mad at me for posting this here, #Blame @trajing [14:54:11] <trajing> Anyway, I don't think anyone would mind if it was asked in the RED thread.

Edit: added more purple screenshots

Purple is best color. Purple is life.

@SatanicSanta blue has my vote as it stands out the most. Some of the others are either really hard to see, or just look awful. Green is a bad idea due to red / green colorblindness. I already cannot tell a difference between the current links and don't want others to have the same issue due to this.

We could always just highlight the non-existent links in a nice, ugly green, since that's how I currently have it since it stands out to me. :p

Edit: Dammit I think I have some minor colorblindness going for me, since I just looked at another one of the green links and can't tell the difference. So yes, please go with blue.

Blue. Defitely blue. It stands out the most, and doesn't interfere with color blindness.

As much as I like the purple, it's far too vibrant and distracting.

I just want to give people a pat on the back for getting this thread to over 100 pages, I think it's cool that we managed to keep a general discussion thread going this long without it getting shut down and I has been serving a neat purpose!
Now you're going to jinxed it...
