##Current status
Bolding of self links was provided via `<strong>` elements until [[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/core/+/343204/|a change to MW core in 2017]]. Since that change, skins are required to provide styling for the self links to appear in bold.
This has been done in Vector, Monobook, Timeless ([[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/skins/Timeless/+/431502/|patch]]), CologneBlue ([[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/skins/CologneBlue/+/446753/|patch]]) and Modern ([[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/skins/Modern/+/446754/|patch]]). Minerva has chosen not to bold self links (see discussion in T181472).
Other skins in Gerrit ([[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/skins/+/master|list]]) should be checked, and similarly fixed if needed.
## Original task description
Probably as a result of {T181472} and related, self links in Timeless no longer bold themselves. (They do seem to provide hover CSS however, which should probably also be removed.)
