The result of the discussion was Redirect {{Tooltip}} to {{Abbr}}. There is no evidence of a desire to delete these beyond the nominator, but also no doubt of a huge overlap in the function of the two templates. That said, the use of hover text in articles is deprecated in Wikipedia:Accessibility, so I am going to add a caution in the template documentation to remind users of the accessibility issue.

I noticed this template while searching an article for the subject′s native Japanese name, which I intended to copy and paste into another medium. However, somebody had moved this info to a hidden dimension known as tool-tip. I had no problem finding the tool-tips in question (once I knew what was up, by checking the page history) but I noticed the font-size for these floaters does not follow that of normal text, and as such they are a grave impediment to reading Kanji.

More to my immediate despair I was unable to select it using the cursor on the article page, only by going to the editing window. Yet suppose I had a physical disability, or had been reading from printed copy, or navigating by keyboard only (with my lappy perhaps) or using a web-browser which does not support tool-tips?

Also see Wikipedia:Accessibility, in particular “Don't use techniques that require physical action to provide information, such as tooltips or any other "hover" text”.

I′ll ask for a consensus to delete this template on general principle. Failing that I demand we restrict its use to common short words of Basic Latin and minimize the adverse practical impact of it. ―AoV² 15:59, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/Merge to {{abbr}}. The title attribute is standards complainant and accessible HTML4/5 attribute. Screen reading will read this aloud sometimes. If you have trouble reading the text, adjust the font size in Display Properties in Windows' control panel. — Dispenser 18:20, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of points:

I didn′t say anything about HTML standards compliance, or about screen-readers, or MS Windows so I don′t think your rebuttals are terribly germane. Let me re-iterate:

The “tool-tip” provides no way to select the floater-contents using the cursor. From the reader′s perspective, this is nearly as problematic as using bit-map images in place of “foreign” text.

More generally if the reader doesn′t have a mouse handy he or she wouldn′t be able to hover the cursor over the hidden message.

Even assuming a mouse the information is still inaccessible if one doesn′t know where to look.

I did figure out how to increase the tool-tip size on my screen but it′s not a viable solution as doing so will enlarge everything regardless of character set, plus it does nothing for other readers.

Could we possibly ensure that “tool-tip” information is always available in plain sight elsewhere on the page?

―AoV² 19:15, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

However, since you mentioned HTML standards, this is what I was able to find:

Some graphical user agents will display a tool tip when the mouse hovers above a form field containing a title attribute. However, current user agents do not provide access to the title attribute content [when browsing] via the keyboard.
The tool tip in some common user agents disappears after a short period of time (approximately 5 seconds). This can cause difficulty accessing title attribute content for those users who can use a mouse but have fine motor skill impairment, and may result in difficulties for users who need more time to read the tool tip.
It is difficult for most users to resize, adjust background colors, reposition or otherwise control the presentation of title attribute content in many current user agents.

[…]

Note: Current user agents and assistive technologies do not always provide the information contained in the title attribute to users. Avoid using this technique in isolation until the title attribute has wide-spread support.

To address a few of your points:

Not being able to select the text is a limitation of your browser, it could be fixed with an extension to add "copy title attribute" option when right clicking.
The reader is informed of its presents with a dotted underline and a help cursor when moving over it.
You can define the font and size separate from other text, In winxp: Control panel → Display Properties → Appearance → Advanced → Item: Tooltip. You should also not assume the limitation of your browser (not being able to select the text) to apply universally

Please note, that <abbr> element is used on the history page for the minor and bot flags, so there's some precedents. Looking at the backlinks there are some abuses. So I suggest we change the wording in the documentation so it's clear that it's meant for abbreviation and to use notes for explanation. An example of the former is using No. in table headings where space is limited, but to use Gender^{[note 1]} when giving an explanation. — Dispenser 08:16, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What extension did you have in mind? Do you plan to write it? Did I say which browser I was using? Well, it′s “Firefox 3.7a2pre” at the moment, should anyone care.

Indeed I wouldn′t object so strongly to this gimmick in cases where the information:

(a) is available in plain sight elsewhere on the page, and/or:

(b) is something trivial which the average person will already know (e.g. that “no.” means “number” or anything else listed as WP:ABBR#Widely used abbreviations in Wikipedia).

However I have not seen such straight-forward use of this template in actual articles. Rather they more frequently employ tool-tip-space to hide matters of serious content such as original proper names (pre-anglicization), and IPA pronunciation data, and image captions. ―AoV² 09:57, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the tooltip template can be reformulated to also generate a "ref group=tooltip" which can be used as a footnote on the page. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 06:46, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you explain what that means exactly? Thanks. ―AoV² 01:17, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sure, look at Template:Tooltip/testcases and Template:Tooltip/sandbox. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 14:03, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Note, I just moved these to the “template” (non-talk) namespace. That′s fine, though I wonder if some of the data would be important enough to included in the main ref-list group. Better still, is there an easy way to list all extant foot-notes regardless of the group to which they belong? That is, if we do change the template as proposed, could we avoid having to add an extra ref-list manually to each affected article? ―AoV² 06:34, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Well, there is no standard groupname for footnotes other than references (default groupname), and these aren't supposed to be references. I've seen "note", "nb", "foot", "footnote", "fn" used as groupnames in various articles... And they should be kept separate from references... The documentation page mw:Extension:Cite/Cite.php does not indicate a way to generate all groups at the same time, nor does Template:Reflist. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 05:49, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Yes, but listing these foot-notes mistakenly in the main ref-list (until somebody adds a separate one) still would be preferable to not listing them at all. ―AoV² 13:05, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Well, just testing it, cite.php will generate an error message saying that you're missing the references tag for the group, so this shouldn't be a problem, since there'll be that missing refs message on a page if you forget to add the reflist/references tag. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 04:32, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to {{abbr}}. The {{tooltip}} template is simply a bad way to implement {{abbr}}. Let's keep {{abbr}} and redirect {{tooltip}} to it. I see no real need for a fancy "ref group=tooltip" approach. Eubulides (talk) 07:06, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- While I agree we don′t need or want two templates serving the same purpose, the purpose of the latter proposal is to address the accessibility problems inherent to any content which appears and disappears based on mouse position. ―AoV² 07:29, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think "abbr" is a good name, since you can use it for things other than abbreviations. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 05:49, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - The template name is named directly as how the html attribute it produces is called which imho is the best name for it, although redirects are apparently cheap so we can point other things to it. Peachey88 ^{(Talk Page · Contribs)} 07:20, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
