Color coded text

Helped My userid preferences set some kinds of color coded text, but I want to know how that is set.

Look at Liberty Bell and you will see examples. Under the title there is green text "(Redirected from Liberty bell)" meaning redirect, and in orange "For other uses, see Liberty Bell (disambiguation)" meaning disambiguation, and below that in blue, the word "symbol and without an example in red "foobar-red for no reference at all.

So, how is color coded text turned on and off?--Dthomsen8 (talk) 02:15, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Dthomsen8: I think this article is what you're looking for: Help:Link color. It explains the default colors for Wikilinks and there meaning, then it tells you how you can alter your CSS file to change the colors for your view. Orville1974^talk 04:25, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

@Dthomsen8: If you are currently using the Monobook skin, your User:Dthomsen8/monobook.js imports the link-colouring script User:Anomie/linkclassifier.js. There's documentation about that at User:Anomie/linkclassifier. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:02, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for those details. Now I see duplicates in my monobook.js to be deleted, which I will do. I printed the whole thing out to research lines I don't understand. If I need more help, I will post my question here. Anyone reading this section should consider setting colors this way. --Dthomsen8 (talk) 19:42, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
