How can I make a link to change it into a question mark scroller?

 * Not sure what you mean by "question mark scroller". You can change uncreated links (common known as "red links") from being just a plain red link to being a blue question mark after the word by going to Special:Preferences.
 * You may also be referring to "tooltips" which are bits of JavaScript individual wikis install which appear when you hover over a link or, on a handful of wikis, a question mark. If this is the case, please provide an example of where you are seeing it. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:11, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

I mean when you go to the link, it will show the question mark. I'm not sure how to do it in photos.

 * By "go to the link" do you mean when you hover you cursor over the link? You can use CSS to change the icon of the cursor when it hovers over a link or image.
 * Example:
 * this is a link
 * Code used:

 * Sorry, I meant that if we hover to the photo, it will show a question mark but I forgot how can I do it.

It seems no one is answering my question. I mean: HOW CAN I MAKE THE CURSOR TO BE THE QUESTION MARK WHEN I HOVER OVER TO A PHOTO?????

 * Have you taken a look at the example given by Gardimuer and does it show what you want to have (hover over the text this is a link)?


 * Have you even read my question??? It says, "How can I make the cursor to be the question mark when i hover over to a PHOTO???"

 * I suggest that you calm down. You are more likely to receive help if you refrain from being rude to the people offering help. To answer your question, to change the cursor into a question mark over an image, you would have to use CSS. For example, you could place the image inside of a div with the class "question mark" and then style that class in the MediaWiki:Wikia.css on your wiki:
 * Code you would put on the page:
 * Code to put in MediaWiki:Wikia.css:
 * This method would be for if you only wanted to change the cursor icon over some images but not all. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 17:24, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * What if I want to apply to all images? 07:39, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

should do it. 11:46, January 21, 2012 (UTC) }

Should it be placed on Wikia.css? 04:15, January 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes. 08:48, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, now that I think about it, most images are inside a tags, aren't they? So something along the lines of  might work better. 19:15, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
