You can set the color of an individual link or set of links on a page (rather than a global change to the style of all links on Wikipedia) as follows. Setting styles in this way will apply to everyone who views those particular links or that particular page, not just you. However, links intended for readers should never be manually colored.

: link. image – link from full image to image description page: link. internal – link to file itself (Media:), and links from thumbnail and magnifying glass icon to image description page (note that color and font size specified for a.internal are only applicable in the first case): link. new example ; default: example

Some general rules should never change, for consistency's sake. blue text = link to existing page; red text = link to not existing page (only occurs for "discussion") black bold text (where a link would be fitting) = self link; Thus overriding a link color, especially to red, is confusing and should be avoided.
