For lines of CSS which should be different on different MediaWiki projects, e.g. for a different background color for easy distinction, clearly the local CSS cannot be used; at least these lines should be put in the user subpages. Some computers, e.g. in internet cafes, mobile devices/tablets, do not allow users to set preferences for the browser.
The table at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Colors shows the results for 14 hues of finding the darkest or lightest backgrounds that are AAA-compliant against black text, white text, linked text and visited linked text. Google Chrome has a color contrast debugger with visual guide and color-picker.
External links usually display an icon at the end of the link. CSS is used to check for certain filename extensions or URI schemes and apply an icon specific to that file type, based on the selected skin. [1] This page contains example URLs to demonstrate the link icons. The displayed icon only depends on the URL itself.
Either no colors should be specified (to invoke the browser's default colors), or both the background and all foreground colors (such as the colors of plain text, unvisited links, hovered links, active links, and visited links) should be specified to avoid black on black or white on white effects.
See Wikipedia:Alternative text for images for discussion of appropriate alt text. Internet Explorer displays the link title as a tooltip but other browsers may not. [needs update] Hint: to force the caption to be written (underneath the picture) and not just appear as "hover text" even when you wish to resize the image, specify "thumb".
Links should clearly be identifiable as links to readers. Refrain from implementing coloured links that may impede user ability to distinguish links from regular text, or colour links for purely aesthetic reasons. See the guides to editing articles for accessibility at contrast, accessibility and navbox colors.
