Problem

Feedback from user research and specific requests on the Wikipedia Preview plugin page indicate a growing need among site owners for more control over the styling of Wikipedia Preview links. Currently, these links are distinguished by a dotted underline, which some site owners feel may not be sufficiently interactive or visually aligned with their site's design. They are seeking options to customise the appearance of these links to better integrate with their site's aesthetic and improve user engagement.
