When I add a link to the title of the page, it is displayed as a normal link instead of a <strong class="selflink">.
Same problem while editing a page with a 'selflink' already present.
The contributor doesn’t see the article as it will be after saving.

For those who might be wondering why selflinks would ever appear in an article: Many pages make use of navigation boxes, such as Template:Extreme Sports. Each navbox usually links to all of the articles that it will be transcluded to. So, with several hundred navboxes, each appearing on at least a dozen pages, we can expect selflinks to appear on several thousand articles.
This will need bug 37901 (a general CSS hinting system for links) to be implemented, which is planned for later this quarter. Hinting that links should be red (non-existent), bold (current), purple (stubs), orange (redirects) etc. will need to be supported in that service.
