[Request] Changing color of visited links in Wiki pages

Hi, didn't know how to reach website developers, so using the forum.

I read through Wiki now & then and if you guys have noticed, for visited links, the color is same as the text (ie: gray). Problem is, it gets really hard to find out what is a link, and what is a regular text.
Example: Please open the image below and you can notice there are 5 links which are all bright and shiny blue.. but if you look closely there are 6 links actually (one is being visited by me).

Suggestion is to change the color of visited links from the default text gray to something more legible, thank you.

Awesome, they are discussing on the issue. In any way I can speed things up? Also, was this feature planned? (I couldn't determine it from reading)

Edit: I will try seth css fix for now, thanks for that seth.

You can comment in the discussion saying which color you prefer. It may or may not speed up the decision.

As someone who just stumbled on this issue I vote for "#795cb2 (MediaWiki default)".

If you want your vote to mean absolutely nothing, then by all means leave it here.  If you want it to mean next-to-nothing, feel free to add it to the discussion page on the wiki.

Of course if you want your vote to be implemented immediately, all it takes is only line of custom css in your browser.
