See <a href="http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/mysterymeatnavigation.html
">Mystery meat navigation</a> on this topic. If I hadn't seen before
going there how to edit a page, I might still search it, even more
as it isn't obvious that the title is a link (not underlined,
unusual color for a link - only the cursor is a hint).

Nanoki uses only a handful of Mark James's 700 "Silk" icons:

One could easily customize Nanoki UI with as many icons as one wishes :)
Basically yes, except the date format! ;)
Most readers of the wiki can use Stylish or Greasemonkey to resize
the edit area anyway...
Or, in Safari at least, just resize the edit area directly.
Bah, a good old tint of blue might be a sensible choice, as it is
familiar. Despite the overuse of CSS, people are still conditioned
to see blue as a link (underlined text too), reddish color as a
visited link, etc.
"Du goût et des couleurs..." again :)
One can always customize the CSS to their likening:

Alternatively, if you don't fancy the default look:
http://svr225.stepx.com:3388/nanoki
Click on the RSS button on the upper right side of most address bar to
get a different rendition:
feed://svr225.stepx.com:3388/nanoki.xml
In Safari at least, the links are of a nice shade of blue :)
