Wikidata diffs containing links are inaccessible
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What happens?:
Wikidata's diffs render link elements inside the diff itself, which is different from all other wikis, and thus not officially supported with the current color palette and/or MediaWiki.

These are inaccessible in both dark and light themes.

What should have happened instead?:
Diffs should be accessible. Either Wikidata needs to:

  1. handle the link case itself
  2. Remove the rendering of links to be consistent with other diffs in MediaWiki
  3. work with the design system to support this officially.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Thanks for creating the ticket!

  1. Remove the rendering of links to be consistent with other diffs in MediaWiki

This would severely degrade user experience (especially when the changed things are items rather Commons files, as many items can have the same label), so I hope this can be avoided.
