I see, so you are proposing this color change only so the pages that don't use the ID template can be identified?

At the moment, this ID template is not used much because I only began adding it to pages I had been working on (see here: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:ID?limit=500). Because of this, the "good" color will only appear on a handful of pages. Not only that, most of our readers will have no idea why some IDs are a different color.

If you are proposing that all IDs on the wiki should be switched to using the template, then I would agree - but it is a huge project and based on previous projects here it is highly unlikely many people will contribute. Because of this it will take a some time to have all IDs switched over and less likely regular readers will spot the difference and add the template.

Many pages use the "bad" IDs, some are small-font - which is good, but none are monotype. We could insert the ID template into other templates like "Template:SkyrimArmor" and try to get that working - that would cover most of the items I think - then we would need to do all the overview pages.
