Thanks, I've now increased the contrast. Let me know what you think.

I like the use of nameof on controller and method names. As for the string interpolation, would that cause an issue when refactoring?

That's what I thought initially, until I used the feature in Visual Studio. The parameters in the string are not actually strings (They are not highlighted red in VS) but are still parameters. Renaming the variable will still have an effect on the name of the parameter in the string.

One thing I think they also introduced are the asp-controller and asp-action attributes to specify which controller and method to call, like so:

<a asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Index" rel="nofollow">Home</a>

I assume you can remove the use of strings here and instead use the nameof() operator like you did in the ActionLink.

One thing that just clicked in my mind: would nameof(HomeController) return Home and not HomeController? Where did it get the name from? Or was it determined out of (MVC route) convention?

That's correct. You need to do something like:

nameof(HomeController).SubString(0, nameof(HomeController).Length - 10);

You can create a quick HTML helper for this or a tag helper in MVC 6.
