It would be convenient if the module names (or even just the active one) were linked to their wiki pages. It would just be slightly quicker for people to refresh their memory and equip to complete the module efficiently.
I'm going to need to ask if you'd be willing to CSS strip the underlines, and tone the color down. Alternatively, increase the minimum horizontal width in the module name column to accommodate entire names, and add a bit o additional spacing between entries. Or, perhaps most simple to add and visually accessible option: Add a small arrow icon in front of each module name (perhaps in its own column), that acts as a link to the target pages. It's not unreadable, or overly painful, but it IS difficult to read for me, now- enough that I wouldn't bother with dealing with it anymore, at least.
Something like this would be appreciated (assuming you only have that one table): td a { text-decoration: none; color:black; } td a:hover, td a:active { text-decoration: underline; color:blue; }
Right now I'm not seeing any name wrapping at any screen size. What browser/platform are you on? The link color (and text-decoration) is your browser's default (my links are unstyled) so if you don't like the way unstyled links look in general you should probably change them on your end. Pretty sure every web browser for the last ten years or more has had the ability (either built-in or 3rd party expanded) for you to change your default stylesheet.
Unless you set font size to a specific px value in CSS, it'll always be different sizes for whomever is reading the page. Standard font sizes are just a mess Windows 7 - Firefox, 1368x786 The link color (and text-decoration) is your browser's default (my links are unstyled) so if you don't like the way unstyled links look in general you should probably change them on your end.

That being said, it's going to be kinda ugly as-is regardless of how well people can read it, I'm going to point to my other two suggestions for now
Tools -> Options -> Content -> Colors (not the first place I looked) Personally, I hate it when pages make links look exactly like unlinked text.
It wouldn't look AT ALL like unlinked text. It'd still be colored, it'd still show as a standard link with a:hover.. All I know is, we generally did that when I was in web design to make the page look classier and easier to read. Nevermind that even if you think adjusting font settings client-side is a valid demand, asking users to change global settings (that might work fine elsewhere) for your site is a bit much (though for me, specifically, it may work out, gotta play with it ). No, 'hidden' links is stupid, but the classic link format is generally considered a bit garish I guess the real question though, is, what's wrong with adding link icons next to the module names? That doesn't seem to remotely push anyone's buttons (heh), and addresses any concerns. Or, you know, I could just point out this: These forums already actually do exactly what I'm saying to, for link stylization [easy to read blue, no underline, displays clearly as a link on hover]. So it's not a novel concept, by any means
@DunDunDun I think Kalin was responding to DupleX's CSS suggestion which would make the links look like plain text until hovered—a huge faux-pas from a UI/X standpoint. Nothing's wrong with adding link icons next to module names other than that it's work. I suggested client-side styling of the links because the links are default, as I think I tried to explain—if you don't like them here, you probably don't like them anywhere, so changing your client's default link styling makes sense in that context. The Loot Fairy page in general is minimally styled; it's definitely function before form and it's something I wanted to resist spending a lot of time making beautiful. Now that I'm working on the hub it's even less likely that I'll ever touch up the tracker. That said, if anyone wants to make a stylesheet for the loot fairy tracker page I will implement it if it doesn't suck.
