How do you colour hyper links?
I'm not able to colour a hyperlink. Any idea how to do this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Derigar (talk • contribs).
- If you're retaining your browser history, then any link you've visited changes from a plain blue .to.a purple - caveat, this visited link colour may depend on which browser you're using. -Chieftain Alex

- And now I see you've asked this in a weird place because you're talking about this edit which is nothing to do with the Main Page... - please use Help:Ask a wiki question.
- To answer your question however, you can change the colour appearance of links by doing something like [[Main Page|<span style="color:green; font-weight:bold;">Main Page link appearance</span>]] which would result in: Main Page link appearance -Chieftain Alex 18:49, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

- Not to mention that Derigar has helpfully stumbled across an annoying glitch in mediawiki where it doesn't like "=" signs in prose within templates... the wiki is still a head scratching exercise for me too! -Chieftain Alex 20:33, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

- You're amazing, thank you so much! Just wish it would automatically go light during the day, dark during the night. Thanks! --Derigar (talk) 21:25, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Tanetris would kill me if it switched to vector at night. -Chieftain Alex 22:02, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Major improvement suggestion
I cannot describe the number of times I have now made half of something, only to find out that one component of it is NOT something you can create at all, or, almost as badly, requires a recipe that is not readily available or built-in. I would suggest that anything crafted that requires a not-readily-available component (meaning, "Look closer at this one before attempting") be somehow marked that way. At a guess, just doing the item itself, as well as the subcomponent if you're looking at the recipe for it, in italics. That's just an idea but any marking possible -- another font, another color, whatever -- would be a MASSIVE improvement in the crafting elements of this wiki. It would be a thing to fix over time, but it would be A Real Good Thing. Even a special character (e.g., §, µ for example) by the item in the crafting component listing is a thought.

- Odd talk page to choose, but ok, I'll humour you.
- How would you suggest we agree on those items you are describing? Are we talking "items crafted only for achievements" (e.g. Eggs Beetletun has a recipe only available through a collection)? How would you avoid ending up with every slightly-awkward recipe? -Chieftain Alex 22:23, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
Seasonal main page background
Halloween ended 2023-11-07, and it's been one month already (also Wintersday is approaching). Is it natural to keep the seasonal background until the next festival rolls around...? --BryghtShadow (talk) 10:20, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- May be a cache error on your end, try clearing your browser cache. (I don't see the Halloween theme.) —Kvothe (talk) 14:54, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- I should have specified that it's the Vector (old and new) skin (which is not served for logged out users, because they get Monobook). Halloween themes were added here MediaWiki:Vector.css but has not been removed since. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=vector and https://wiki.guildwars2.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=vector-2022 --BryghtShadow (talk) 10:50, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
