[opensuse-doc] "Report Bug" link not a lot of fun
(On mentioning this on [opensuse-web] it was suggested to discuss here as possible alternative to simply filing a bug.) https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-web/2017-08/msg00000.html

The easiest way to report a documentation bug is: scroll up to the headline (in this case "2.2.1.2 The Boot Screen on Machines Equipped with UEFI") and click the "Report bug" link right of the headline. ... Thanks! But for your reply I'd never have seen that: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/docOSorg201707.jpg
Oh yeah, grey on light grey is a great choice :-/ (at least it becomes slightly more readable if you hover it) [/quote]
Why must opensuse.org copy the awful legibility of most of the rest of the Internet by using tiny gray text and tinier still gray links, or green links that don't pass any WCAG color contrast test? Why shouldn't it be better, both respectful of user settings, and highly legible? Web claims of "too much contrast is bad" pale in comparison to overall poor legibility. People with too bright/contrasty displays can turn back those settings. Those whose are properly set shouldn't need to do anything because of some eagle-eyed stylists' preferences, and those who need more are unable to dial up past 100%, or may already be at 100% to start with - lots of displays shipped with settings at 100% so as to stand out alongside competitors on retail display shelves in brightly lit stores (probably what caused stylists to make the too much contrast is bad claim in the first place). #439539 openSUSE green for link text is bad: http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ So are gray text and sub-default text size: http://www.w3.org/2003/07/30-font-size http://terrillthompson.com/blog/589 https://backchannel.com/how-the-web-became-unreadable-a781ddc711b6 https://jebswebs.net/blog/2013/07/whats-with-all-the-gray/ http://contrastrebellion.com/ https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/why-are-so-many-sites-using-gray-text/... -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Why shouldn't it be better, both respectful of user settings, and highly legible? My opinion is that the link should not be too visually obtrusive. It's a "report bug" link and not an essential part of the documentation itself. It becomes more visible when the mouse hovers over a headline or the
