hi, does anyone know how to make it so that the wiki underlines all links?
It's nearly impossible to see links without that, unless you really expect
people to see the difference between black and dark blue which is ableist.
I opened this file but all the things i tried did not do anything to cause
links to be underlined. I think both internal and external links should be.

Down to take a look at this! Any other frontend UI needs for the wiki?

I made the requested change with this edit:
https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACommon.css&t…
Personally l do not like this change and would prefer it the other
way. I am colorblind myself but I can tell easily enough what's a link
using other client features. To me, having excessive lines all over
the place is more of an accessibility issue than slightly more
ambiguity about what is a link.

thank you for doing that! would you prefer a different font size or style,
rather than underlines?
I don't know what other client features you're talking about

Here's what the "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines" (WCAG) recommend
about links and underlines:
*Using a contrast ratio of 3:1 with surrounding text
and providing
additional visual cues on hover for links or controls where color alone is
used to identify them
<https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/general/G183>*
...The intent of this technique is to provide a redundant visual cue for
users who may not be able to discern a difference in text color....
...*While using this technique is sufficient to meet this success
criterion, it is not the preferred technique to differentiate link text.*
This is because links that use the relative luminance of color alone may
not be obvious to people with low vision. If there are not a large number
of links in the block of text, *underlines are recommended for links in
blocks of text*...
More here:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/general/G183
And this article describes some ways to add underlines that are less
"distracting":
https://css-tricks.com/styling-links-with-real-underlines/
Two examples:
a {
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: #EA215A 0.125em solid;}
a {
text-decoration-color: #EA215A;
text-decoration-thickness: .125em;
text-underline-offset: 1.5px;}
