Hgames Wiki uses two separate templates to generate tooltips. The {{abbr}} template is used to write an abbreviation (including an acronym or initialism) with its expanded meaning. It is a wrapper for the HTML element <abbr>...</abbr>
. The {{tooltip}} template uses the <span>...</span>
element to provide generic notes.
Only use {{abbr}} or <abbr>
to mark up abbreviations (including acronyms and initialisms). Using it to generate tooltips elsewhere is a misuse of the underlying HTML and causes accessibility problems. For general–purpose tooltips, use {{tooltip}} instead.
