 * Set the text in MediaWiki:Tooltip-search, the default is " " --Uberfuzzy 04:10, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * So, if we dont want it, we empty it ? Could it be done for only myself ? Like i already asked on this forum, i would prefer a js hack to disable the fuction that load it for myself on every wikia but maybe it doesn't work that way. — TulipVorlax 16:42, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Tried it. Emptying it doesn't work.
 * The reason why i dont want that is because it take so much time to load that it load after i begin typing or after i've pasted something. Plus, it stay there if i use a drag drop of text. To me it's really annoying. — TulipVorlax 16:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I talked with the techy people about this. There is other code in place that prevents both the methods of having a blank MW message (both "creating then blanking" or just having a single - char) from working with this entry. The text should be getting cleared out as soon as you click in the box. if its not, there may be other javascript problems happening on the page. Can you give me an example of 1 wiki where you are seeing this happen? --Uberfuzzy 08:52, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Every wikia hosted wikis. In IE7 (XP Home SP3).
 * Yes, it is cleared when i click it, except if i click in it "too soon". And sometimes what i type is grey instead of black. But it's never cleared if i do a drag drop of a bit of texte; the texte i drag just get inserted in the middle of the grey text.
 * What i wanted to do, is setting the javascript fonction to NULL like i've done for the one that load preview of licenses template (on wikis where i dont need to see them). But maybe this dont use javascript ? I though it used javascript because all things that use javascript "load" after the page is loaded. — TulipVorlax 13:13, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That is coded in a way that you can't disable it. The function is loaded trough, so you can't nullify it. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 15:51, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
