Hi,
Disclaimer: Though I worked in an accessibility software company for
three years, I know almost nothing about color blindness, so this
question may be silly.
A participant in a recent workshop for new Wikipedia editors workshop in
Israel complained that he cannot tell red links from blue links because
he is color-blind.
Has this issue ever been noticed or addressed by anybody?
The only related thing I can think of is the option to show links to
nonexistent pages with a question mark, which was disabled on Wikimedia
sites a year or two ago. Is there anything else?
Besides the hypothetical ideas mentioned, there is the option to add
user CSS.
Although not truly user friendly, this is a little easier than it used
to be (you can now make personal customizations without copying them to
every WMF site). As long as you have a global account (many users do,
including most new ones), you just have to go to:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyPage/global.css
You can then add arbitrary CSS rules, e.g.:
/* Red links */
a.new {
color: pink;
}
which will apply on all WMF sites (it is still possible to add rules
that only apply on one site at Special:MyPage/common.css (all skins) or
Special:MyPage/vector.css (Vector)).
