An internet and wiki-specific term describing a hyperlink that is styled in blue, indicating it points to an existing page or resource — as opposed to a red link, which signals a missing or uncreated page. The term is most commonly used on Wikipedia and MediaWiki-based platforms, where the distinction between blue and red links is central to content status. 'Blue-linked' is sometimes used as a verb or adjective to describe a topic that already has a dedicated article, implying a level of notability or documentation.
Every person mentioned in the article was already blue-linked, which made the reference section feel surprisingly well-sourced.
