Description Ltrlg 2013-07-01 13:14:03 UTC 
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 don’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.
Comment 2 James Forrester 2013-07-31 01:45:57 UTC 
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.
