--- Comment #8 from Sage Ross <[email protected]> --- I would say it's definitely important to users to know when a link will take them out of (that language version of) Wikipedia. I'm pretty savvy about how these here wikis work, and I was still very confused when a seemingly internal link took me to a page in another language. Styling interwiki links as internal links is definitely the wrong way to go. As for giving them their own style (as in the desktop view) instead of just styling them like other external links, this is probably only understandable by users who regularly use non-article pages and navigate between wikis... but for them (people like me), the slightly lighter blue of an interwiki link is instantly recognizable. Interwiki links within articles are only a small minority of links, but it's a non-trivial amount nonetheless. Inline links to wiktionary are among the more common use cases. When we're talking about pages outside of mainspace as well, it becomes even more important to be able to differentiate... especially because (to a much greater degree than on desktop) you could navigate to another wiki without even realizing it. There's no new-and-different icon (or visible url, depending on the browser) at the top to let you know that you're all of a suddent on a different wiki. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
