 Replying to [comment:4 jane]:

 completely sold. What problem does it solve?

 From a standardization standpoint, I think stylizing or adding a icons
 next to Codex links would promote more use of the Codex and result in
 easier troubleshooting directions. "Having an issue? Often times the
 information you seek can be found by clicking the Codex links in the
 Dashboard." <- Or something.

 A lot of newer users don't fully realize that A) the Codex exists and B)
 That there's a wealth of helpful information to be had there.

 By standardizing the way Codex links are styled, we would promote
 recognition that there is immediate help to be had by clicking them. My
 2¢.
