:RE: Hoverover, it's definitely possible. You could do a template for common words so you don't have to type out the code every time. For example, I could set [[Template:Ryanmen]] to <nowiki><abbr title="two consecutive tiles, waiting to complete either side of a sequence">ryanmen</abbr></nowiki>.Then, I could type <nowiki>{{ryanmen}}</nowiki> in-editor and get <abbr title="two consecutive tiles, waiting to complete either side of a sequence">ryanmen</abbr> without having to type all the code.

:: Hmm yea, good idea.  I see that it's explained here: [https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Help:Mouse-over Mouse-over].  If it helps people get quick translation on the terms, it is worth doing. [[User:KyuuAA|KyuuAA]] ([[User_talk:KyuuAA|Talk:キュウ]]) 08:07, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
