Wiki rules state that a hyperlink directing to X page should only be placed once, unless it is convenient and sensible to use it more than once. In this scenario, we won't have many hyperlinks always super close together, and the ones that are become easily distinguishable.

If you personally agree that coloured hyperlinks should extend to Plants and Zombies, then it only makes sense that it can be extended to other pages. Why?

1) Helps distinguish the hyperlinks better than if they were all the same colour 2) We already have them how they are, and it'd take people out of their way to change them 3) They aren't doing any harm. I personally prefer diverse coloured hyperlinks to ones that are the same.

There's no need to "distinguish" links. The link name should be more than enough to tell you where it's going. And it's not like a new visitor knows what each of the 5000 colors is supposed to represent.

"We already have them like this, why change it" is another weak argument. Colored links are slowly but surely creeping up into everything. This is literally a slippery slope. Pretty soon we'll have a color for every link on this wiki. That requires needless maintenance. We need to draw a line and say "the buck stops here."

They are doing harm. Some of the colors are too bright to read. It also makes the wikia look like it was made by a three-year-old who just got a ton of colored crayons. Colored links are dumb, childish, and unnecessary.

There is no disputing votes. My vote rests as an oppose and I will not change it as I think my stance over carefully before speaking up.
