At the suggestion of Omyx and the agreement that this would be useful, we've implemented a brand new feature for the users of BTFF to enjoy.

To sum it up, Tooltips is basically an easy-to-use hovertext alternative. You just pop this code into your page: Basic tooltips And you'll get this:

Now, you may be wondering why we installed a feature that basically just does the exact same thing as hovertext, which we already had. That's where Advanced Tooltips come in.

Hovertext and normal Tooltips only allow you to display text when hovering over the trigger area. Advanced Tooltips, on the other hand, allows you to display more or less whatever you want. Just pop this code into your page: Advanced tooltips Tooltip content And you'll get this:

Advanced tooltips Tooltip content

To pop in whatever you want, just pop whatever code you want to use between the div tags and you'll be good to go. You can use this to display templates, images, fancy trivia, whatever you want, really. Just make sure not to go overboard to the point where it gets obtrusive.

Just a heads up, there's a glitch with Wikia (wow such a surprise /s) where the Classic Editor will automatically place each of the tags for the Advanced Tooltips coding on separate lines. This has the unfortunate side effect of breaking the code entirely. You should be fine implementing the code with Classic Editor when first creating the page, but future edits to the page should be done in VisualEditor until Wikia gets their crap together.

Note that this glitch doesn't seem to happen with the basic Tooltips, so those should be fine.
