When you print out a Wikipedia article, footnotes are displayed in a gray font color. That looks like a deliberate design decision (which I don't like, but anyway...). What makes no sense to me is why external links within those footnotes do not get the same font color as the surrounding text. I particularly do not understand this because in the article body, they do get the same font color as the surrounding text. Example:

That appears to be an inconsistency. Either external links should always have a different color than the surrounding text, or never. (I would definitely favour 'never'. They are already highlighted through their underlining.)
