In a typical line from 5 In the news on the Uncyclopedia home page:

• FIFA hand 2022 World Cup to the planet Mars

--it's not clear to me that a random user realizes that clicking on the words that are merely blue, rather than blue-and-bold, will not take him to the UnNews but to a related but completely different page.

Our current format seems to be a remnant of the era of ransom-note typography that the Forum voted to change in Forum:Amount of highlighting and linking in UnNews.

Without objection in the next 24 hours, I'll recode {{RecentUnNews}} so that each entire line is a link to the relevant UnNews, and will adjust any relevant documentation. Spıke ¬ 13:54 4-Dec-10

Wasnt it done that way because that was how the news on Wikipedia was done? Not that it matters to me, but... ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101204 - 18:09 (UTC)

Was and is, Lyrithya, including right now on the Wikipedia main page; thanks. I still want to make the proposed change, but will take no action without wider debate. Spıke ¬ 01:38 5-Dec-10
