New description:

 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:

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/qZgV5dBTd3.png)]]

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

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/-JSkzpm8fr.png)]]

 Sometimes they're underlined:

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/rsQu3iV752.png)]]

 More examples:

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/33nzYSGI9g.png)]]

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/OCwduJw3hH.png)]]

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/S-5OBdTJXL.png)]]

 Sometimes they have a trailing dot:

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/TPALx1gxt9.png)]]

 Sometimes not:

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/Mc6Y3HIoD6.png)]]

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

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/s9EyOZK_5F.png)]]

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/XOZrb1Wd8U.png)]]

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