VisualEditor: Apply styles for redirects/disambiguation links in suggestions in link inspector
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

We apply red link styles to nonexistent titles in the link suggestions, so for redirects and disambig pages the corresponding styles/classes should be applied as well.

I don't actually know what these are, ask James :)

We actually don't apply any classes, ve.ui.MWLinkTargetInputWidget.css just has some styles defining a close-enough reddish color. (This is kind of bad since the color can differ per-skin.)

.ve-ui-mwLinkTargetInputWidget-menu .oo-ui-menuItemWidget[rel=newPage] {
color: #BA0000;
}

There are no styles by default for redirect and disambiguation links, some users choose to style them in various ways (usually green for redirects and maroon for disambigs).

I'm not sure if we should do this for the link in the inspector; they are already visually distinct by being placed in separate sections. We might want to remove the reddish styles too...

Presumably the styles will be ported over to Parsoid content, at which point we can just apply them directly?

I'm not sure. Consistency of hinting is important.

I don't think so – that one did it for links in the editing surface, but not in the link inspector suggestions dropdown. Looks like this code lives in mw.widgets.TitleOptionWidget now.

…and we actually handle redirects and disambigs there with custom icons. So this should be trivial.

Oh, hah, I thought we'd done it when the code was in VE but clearly I was wrong. :-)
