 Notices (in a general sense, including errors, "nags", warnings, etc.)
 displayed in the admin can have links in their messages. Sometimes these
 links are barely noticeable, for example when they're inside a sentence
 and color alone is not sufficient to distinguish them from the surrounding
 text:

 Sometimes they're a little better because the context helps understand
 they're links, even if they're not underlined:

 Sometimes they're underlined:

 Sometimes they have a trailing dot:

 Sometimes not:

 And some edge cases where the context helps but the consistency could be
 improved:

 For accessibility, links inside lines or blocks of text should be always
 underlined. Looks like making them always underline would be a pretty
 simple and effective improvement I'd strongly recommend :) Any thoughts
 more than welcome.
