Intro to report
Copying the intro here to aid discoverability of the report's content:
Links Not Distinct
There are links that appear within a body of text, with no visual indicator to determine they
are links unless the user hovers over/ moves focus to them.

Screenshot:
There ‘advertisement features’ text was a link to another destination. This link could not be
potentially identifiable by users, as there was not enough distinguishable characteristics to
indicate that the text is a link.
@ioannakok Looks like this needs the underline applied on focus, not just hover. Is that correct?
Just noticed it's also needed for the contributor tag on the articles
I'm not sure this has been fixed
On a standard article - the tags seem to be differentiated:
On the /tone/advertisement-features articles (e.g.) - I would argue it's the same as it was in the report:
@isabellapurchas - it's not so much about the hover state, but rather that they aren't discernible unless you hover.
Should we reopen this?
