Editing Forum:Abbr tags on mobile

...do not work, at all; there is nothing a touch interface can do to make them show a tooltip. Notably,  <code>&lt;abbr&gt;</code> tags are used in [[Template:EO]]. A possible solution to this is to handroll one's own tooltips using CSS, as the <code>:hover</code> selector <i>does</i> work on mobile, (and then one can use <code>content: attr(title)</code>, applied to <code>::after</code>, to make the tooltip) but this sort of change would probably require broad administrative approval.

(There's also possible accessibility benefits to that approach if one also produces the tooltip on <code>:focus</code>.)

: I am all for a change, yes. Another alternative may be using the [[smw:Help:Adding_tooltips|Semantic Mediawiki specific parser function]] <code>#info</code> that looks like {{#info:this|note}}, but I would prefer maybe a different color.<br><br>{{tl|Tooltip}} exists, but is not used anywhere mainly because I kept pushing it off, as I am not terribly good at CSS. -- [[User:RagCall|RagCall]] ([[User talk:RagCall|talk]]) 09:20, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
: I never saw a tooltip in either desktop or mobile, but I always assumed it was because I hadn't enabled some sort of accessibility mode in my browser. I just looked at the HTML spec, looks like abbr doesn't do anything on its own?<br><br>Personally I would think it's better to build on top of abbr tags, since those probably interoperate better with accessibility technology like screen readers. According to [[mw:Reference Tooltips]], it sounds like there's some off-the-shelf MediaWiki functionality which can make those things work.

: i appreciate the migration to [[Template:Tooltip]], which paves the path for resolving this issue, but the accursed abbr tag is still in use there, where a css tooltip solution would be much preferable [[Special:Contributions/2601:1C2:680:B430:7D2A:1C29:CF37:CF17|2601:1C2:680:B430:7D2A:1C29:CF37:CF17]] 12:29, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
:As @[[User:PSGarak|PSGarak]] notes [[mw:Reference Tooltips]] works for the <nowiki><abbr></nowiki> issue, by making it mobile accessible. However, as usual thats also a badly documented pile of tech debt, so I've not fully figured out how to get it work properly (and their import settings just flatout miss parts). <nowiki><abbr></nowiki> hover over now works on [[staging:|staging]], the rest doesn't yet as I try to figure out which selectors to use.
