Hgames Wiki uses two separate templates to generate tooltips. The {{template link|abbr}} template is used to write an abbreviation (including an acronym or initialism) with its expanded meaning. It is a wrapper for the [[Wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] [[Wikipedia:HTML element#General phrase elements|element]] {{tag|abbr}}.  The {{template link|tooltip}} template uses the {{tag|span}} element to provide generic notes.

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.
