How to make redirects appear green to you

Here is a trick to make redirected wikilinks stand out by turning them green instead of blue! This is especially useful when working on navigation aids like lists and outlines, where you need to be sure a link leads to where it says it links to. This quick and easy solution uses customized CSS:

Go to your Preferences, click on the "Appearance" tab, and click the "Custom CSS" to the right of the skin you use. It opens a page to edit, and you can add the following code (just copy and paste it):

	.mw-redirect {
		color: #006633;
	}
	.mw-redirect:visited {
		color: #009900;
	}
	.mw-redirect:hover {
		color: #990000;
	}
	.mw-redirect:active {
		color: #990000;
	}
Save the page, and reload (bypass your browser cache) and/or (Purge) the Wikipedia server to force the new CSS to be included. All redirects will now show up as green links! If you prefer a different color, you can modify them by using six-digit hex codes.

My day on Wikipedia begins with checking my watchlist. I review each change, add necessary comments, and revert any vandalism I come across. Occasionally I will click links to random pages and clean up articles that don't meet Wikipedia's standards, but the majority of my time is spent voting. And I don't mean for politics. My favorite spots are Featured picture candidates and Motto of the day. Here is a summary of the ideas I have suggested for others to vote on.

The Working Man's Barnstar I can't glance at any one section at MOTD without seeing your name. Without your help, MOTD would surely fail. Keep up the great work! --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 02:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
The Working Man's Barnstar For your hard work over at WP:MOTTO, I hereby award you this. You create mottos (which are outstanding, btw), archive them, make improvements to them, reject/approve them, and more. Oh my gosh, don't get me started on your work at WP:FPC... Well, you understand what I'm saying (right?). Peace, Tohru Honda13 22:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
