Template:Tooltip
This template allows for transcribers to attach a hovering note to some text, perhaps to alert readers to a connection to a previous episode, like the correction made in Episode 829, or to note a name dear to the Rogues, like Julia.
The basic format is:
{{tooltip|_name_or_text_with_punctuation_if_any_|_hovering_note_about_the_name_or_text_}}The above example renders as _name_or_text_,
with a dotted line under "_name_or_text_," and a floating '?' above it to draw attention to the hovering note.
Note: "_name_or_text_," has been bolded for emphasis in this example.
Also note that clicking/tapping on the underlined text expands the note that hovers for desktop users; some mobile devices cannot display the hovering text, so this format is more accessible.
Tooltip with Episode/Website/Wiki links
Link to an SGU Transcripts page
To put a tooltip above a link to another Episode, use the tooltip template after the pipe that follows the link.
The tooltip over the anchored (#) link in Episode 822 to Episode 829 is formatted:
[[SGU Episode 829#correction|{{tooltip|Wii Shop Channel Theme.|correction made in Episode 829}}]]
which renders as Wii Shop Channel Theme.
Link to a website
To put a tooltip above a link to a website, use the tooltip template inside the single [brackets], after the url, as in the References list from Episode 946. This example currently does not do this, since the latest tooltip template winds up making a duplicated link...it may be preferable to put the tooltip outside the brackets for the website:
Harefuah (a medical journal by the {{tooltip|IMA):|Israel Medical Association}} [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12187564/ Titin: some aspects of the largest protein in the body]which renders as Harefuah (a medical journal by the IMA):
Titin: some aspects of the largest protein in the body
Link to a Wikipedia article
To Put a tooltip about a link to a wikipedia article that uses the Wikipedia template, use the tooltip template after the pipe that follows the Wikipedia article name. Make sure to close both the W and tooltip templates with double close braces: }} }} Example:
{{w|TRIUMF|{{tooltip|TRIUMF|Canada's national particle accelerator centre}}}}
which renders as TRIUMF
inside the episode infobox in SGU Episode 952.
Usage
Formatting certain examples:
Hover text inside an internal SGU Transcripts link
[[_SGU_transcript_pagename_#with_anchor_if_anchor_|{{tooltip|_name_or_text_|_hovering_note_about_the_name_or_text_}}]]
renders: _name_or_text_
Hover text inside a hyperlink (currently semi-problematic)
[_website_URL_ {{tooltip|_name_of_webpage_or_other_info_|_hovering_note_}}]renders: _name_of_webpage_or_other_info_
Hover text inside Wikipedia template call
{{w|_Wikipedia_article_title|{{tooltip|_Wikipedia_article_title_or_alternate_text| _hovering_note_}}}}
