colored underlined links are the default on the web. Creating
something more subtle may ease reading, but is no doubt going to cause
confusion for people who don't keep their mouse in the link long
enough, or for those who don't have scripts or other needed options
enabled for them to see mouseover images.

I tend to use wikilinks

I think the problem with the Language article is that it's far too heavily
wikified. In some sentences nearly all words are needlessly peppered with
blue link. As if someone would find himself unable to understand what was
meant by "sounds" or "gestures" in the opener, and a link to the
articles
for those words would help.
Perhaps you should choose (or design) a skin that doesn't highlight
wikilinks unless you glide your cursor over them.
In general, I would agree that our blue wikilinks are a little too
contrasting with the text body, making them a distraction, and would
prefer something more subtle as the default.
I think that blue was initially chosen as the default for hyperlinks in
browsers due to red/green colourblindness...
