Hi everyone,

I'm working on the Wings of Destiny Wiki and I haven't added many scripts and templates yet. I'm starting to manage expandible tables pretty well now, and minor edits to add several line breaks after tables so that my pages don't look weird.

Of the many templates and features I'm trying to implement, I'm looking for a simple tooltip template that would be based on images, not text. Ex: you hover over a "Super Amazing Sword" link and "Super Amazing Sword.png" pops up as a tooltip. Does that even exist?

Most tooltip templates I find out about are either 3 years old and possibly out-dated or they rely on information that is found on other pages of the wiki, which, if I understand correctly, has to be placed between a "< div=tooltip-content>< /div>" type script, spaces are intentional ;)

On this forum, I'm constantly being refered to the WoWWiki tooltip script but I haven't had a chance to figure it all out yet. What I do know so far is that there are different ways to implement tooltips on a Wikia wiki and that some involve modifying common.js or skin.js (whatever that is) and CSS something. As you can see, I'm a bit confused by all of the info I find.

Could someone explain the best way to implement tooltips or refer me to a page/threads that could help me understand them?

Thanks a lot!
