Don't forget about redirection pages. In some Wikipedia's it is probably bad
practice to link them. In german Wikipedia, it's okay to link them, but only if
the link target makes more sense than the main page title. So in any case it's
nice to see that the link target is a redirect. A bonus would be a tooltip
which shows the page the redirect redirects to.

This is a really horrible idea. About 5% of the population are color blind, you
really don't want to hardcode colors like this in any way. If embedding this
information in the page source is technically impossible for whatever reason,
then load a list of external pages using JS and add css classes or other
attributes on the fly.
