Summary: Make links to self-redirects being easy distinguishable
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown

Sometimes there're situations that sub-topics of a long articles are in fact
redirects to the long article. In the same time, links to these sub-topics are
used in the main article - which is very misleading to the readers, since it
seems like there was a separate article providing more information on
sub-topic, but all users get is return to the top of the same article.
A real-life example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_(band)#History
click on "Rick Hunolt" in 2nd paragraph of History section. Whoops?
What I suggest is using another colour (not red and not blue) for such
self-redirects - or perhaps treating these as self-links and making them black
and not clickable.
