Well, those links are on [[Special:SpecialPages#Users_and_rights]], too, though
probably more users will go through their preferences. Anyway, an email
"Somebody is trying to crack your (Wikipedia|...) password [that's not even a
lie!], please visit <fake address> and change it!" sent to many users, is much
easier than changing links.

In IE in quirks mode you can also execute javascript using CSS:

.mw-special-Preferences {
 color:expression(importScript("..."));
}
