In my Lindquist one name study I want to highlight names of people who were immigrants. How may I do that?

Many project pages still contain minimal HTML coding. 

Try <span style="color:red">The name you wish font highlighted</span>.

It would probably be better to use the red template. http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Formatting_Templates
Bui I can not edit the list of names in my study.
Are you talking about the list of names on a category? You can't edit those. But if you put a list of names on your name study free space page you can.
Were you attempting to add the names from http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Lindquist_Name_Study       to http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Lindquist_Name_Study and then organize them?
Here is an examples of a One Name Study free space...

Here is an elaborate example of a One Name Study category...

Simple answer is three ''' ==> bold

But why ?!?!?

  1. To get the name bold
  2. To get the name red
  3. To be able to navigate to some other page e.g. an emigrant from Värmland then you follow the link to Swedish emigrants from Värmland
  4. ?????

You could create a category with a name of your choosing, maybe something like "Immigrants, Lindquist Name Study" I've seen something like this done with other one Name studies, for example with the Jacksons they have Jackson Immigrants, Jackson Name Study and you can see every profile that had that category added to it. We also have feeds for categories now so you can see whenever someone adds to or modifies a profile in that category which is awesome.

This doesn’t highlight, but here’s a search to find Lindquist profiles that use the Migrating Ancestor template (click “Get profiles” after the tool page opens):
