# Consider using a larger/different typeface to better distinguish these inter-site links from the personal wiki navbar links on the same, top line and on the right of the page.

# Hover underscore length - some of the links match the text width exactly (wiki, activities, donate) the others are a bit longer as if including a trailing space character. Is this controllable?
  −
# Hover underscore separation - the bolded wiki link text underscore is 2 pixels from the text baseline, the others are 5 pixels.  Can we control this? 4 or 5 pixels looks good with the bold underscore strokes.

* show on hover only - like the Wikipedia MonoBook and Vector skins, I prefer not to clutter the content area with lots of horizontal lines that interfere with the typeface descenders, make reading the text more difficult, and tire the eyes.

: The bottom-border underscores move them below the descenders (at many resolutions), so this is an improvement in readability.  The excess of horizontal lines in the content text remains an issue in my opinion.

* left or right position - I find the left position of these links, just preceding the section title, interferes with the clarity of reading and scanning the titles. I prefer that the [edit] section links be moved to the right like in the MonoBook and new Wikipedia Vector skins.

* contrast - I also suggest that they be slightly less dense or grayed from the rest of the text, so that they are easier to ignore when one is concentrating on reading the content on a page.

* underscores - like the other non-direct content links, if they only show an underscore when hovered with the mouse pointer, there will be less unessential 'ink' on the page that distracts and tires the eyes.
