Template talk:Tooltip

class
The Monobook skin in vanilla MediaWiki has an  class styled as follows: abbr, acronym, .explain { border-bottom: 1px dotted; cursor: help; } Since this class unfortunately doesn't work here, and because the   and   HTML elements have specific semantic meanings making it inappropriate to use them to achieve purely stylistic effects, I think this class should be added to MediaWiki:Common.css or MediaWiki:Hydra.css and this template changed to use it.

 * For me, it worked . --Naista2002 (t|c) 16:37, 4 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, the class does exist here; it's just limited to cases where a  is defined. So no additional CSS is needed for this after all. 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:04, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Advise not using tooltip unless necessary
I think it's a bad idea to use tooltip. The tooltip text can't be searched for or copied. The tooltip mark is not obvious, and beginners may be confused when they see a tooltip such as these three values, if they don't know they should hover on the text. Also, if I view a page with a phone, the tooltip can't be displayed at all. Instead of tooltip, I think it may be better to list them all or collapse them (like scoreboard) if necessary. --SolidBlock (not good at English!) 11:32, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
