Sorry I didn't do this earlier, but I finally added a CSS class for table links called "whitelinks" to help with the tables that have dark backgrounds where you cannot see the links well. I've switched over a few templates, but am not sure if I have gotten them all. You can either let me know here of a page that needs it or you can do it by adding class="whitelinks" to the table in the line that starts with {|. If there's already a class there, you can just make it class="firstclassname whitelinks".

This includes the crafting page. Unless there is a good reason to not have it use the conventional link underlining (I'll admit I didn't know they were links when I first looked at the page) because that's what is done on the rest of the wiki and generally will be less confusing for new users, I'll probably just remove the SKlink template stuff.

I'm also open to using a light color other than white if people have suggestions.

How is this different from

How is this different from the {{SKLink}} template that we're already using?

You put the class in the head

You put the class in the head of the table and then it fixes all the links for you, so you don't need to do anything beyond the standard [[Venom Veiler]] rather than having to type out {{SKLink|Venom Veiler|Venom Veiler}}. If your question is how does the link appearance differ, the SKLink template didn't have underlining and not all tables were using it. This is easier for new editors.

Oh, that's much more

Oh, that's much more convenient. Could it be built into the weaponinfo and armorinfo templates?

I hate it when I only press

I hate it when I only press the Preview button and forget I have to do it again for Save!

Anyhow, yes, it can. I'll take a look sometime this week.
