Editing Help/Links (section)

=== "Hover box" on links === <!--T:333-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:334--> In certain web browsers, when you place the cursor over a link, a tooltip may appear, displaying the content of the link's HTML title attribute.</translate>
<translate><!--T:335--> MediaWiki assigns different values to this attribute depending on the type of link: for internal wikilinks, it displays the '''page name''' and <tvar name=1><code></code></tvar>, if the page does not exist; for interwiki links, it displays the page name with a prefix; and for external links, it displays the URL.</translate>

<translate><!--T:336--> The browser might also display similar information in its status bar, possibly showing which section it belongs to.</translate>

<translate><!--T:337--> Using a <tvar name=1></tvar>, even if it isn't clicked, can help clarify acronyms (like displaying "[[<tvar name=2>m:neutral point of view</tvar>|neutral point of view]]" as <tvar name=3>[[m:neutral point of view|NPOV]]</tvar>) or adding annotations.</translate>
<translate><!--T:338--> Hover boxes can also be created without links, you can customize the hover box content using markup like <tvar name=1><code><nowiki>[[Link title|<span title="hoverbox">Display text</span>]]</nowiki></code></tvar>.</translate>

<translate><!--T:339--> You cannot include a title attribute directly within the href element for '''external links'''.</translate>
<translate><!--T:340--> Nevertheless, you can achieve a similar outcome by using a span element instead, like this:</translate>
<code><nowiki>[http://www.example.com <span title="hover text on external link">www.example.com web site</span>]</nowiki></code> :<br />
[http://www.example.com <span title="hover text on external link">www.example.com web site</span>]
