Wikipedia:Tooltips

Wikipedia features 3 types of tooltips: inline tooltips added by editors, page preview tooltips for wikilinks, and reference tooltips.

Inline tooltips

Editors can add inline tooltips to articles using the {{Tooltip}} template, like so: {{Tooltip|The text|The tool tip}} which makes it appear like this: The text.

The {{Abbr}} template can be used for abbreviations. Tooltips are also used by various templates. For instance, the {{obsolete source}} template, here shown with a tooltip reason: [obsolete source].

In general, editors should use inline tooltips selectively such as when they're useful for table column headers. (See MOS:NOHOVER for information)

Editors should check that tooltip text renders as intended. For instance, if the tooltip text includes a " character, the tooltip is cut short.

Page Previews

Further information: mw:Page Previews

When hovering over a link to another article, a short summary of the subject and an image (if available) is displayed as a tooltip.

Reference tooltips

A reference tooltip; the hand-shaped cursor is hovering over a footnote link '[21]'. The Reference tooltip displays the footnote contents without requiring a click, or even scrolling down to footnote 21.

When hovering over a reference, a tooltip appears that shows the full reference.
