-On [[WoWWiki]], there are several important [[template]]s that work together in a unique way to show tooltips when you mouseover a link (assuming you have [[wikipedia:JavaScript|JavaScript]] support in your browser).
-Because of these special relationships, this help page will try to go further in-depth on how to use these templates so they work well together.
-== {{t|Item}}, {{t|Loot}} and {{t|Tooltip}} ==
-;If you want an item link to show a tooltip, you need to use the ''{{t|item}}'' or ''{{t|loot}}'' template. NOTE: Don't use ''{{t|item}}'' tooltip inside {{t|tooltip}} or {{t|settip}}.
-To create a {{t|item}} link for an item, you can use the following format:
-* The only parameter required is the name of the item.
-* Include an <tt>|icon=</tt> argument to have an icon appear.
-To create a {{t|loot}} link for an item, you can use the following format:
-* The template name indicates the item is loot.
-* The first argument is the quality of a given item.
-* The second argument is the name of a given item's article.
-* The third argument can be used to hide disambiguations, or different page names.

-If the item is on a disambiguation page, you can pass the page name as the second argument and the item name as the third argument:

-;If you want an item article to show a tooltip (and you know you do) when a ''loot'' link points to it, make sure to add a ''{{t|tooltip}}'' template with the following minimum parameters:
-To create a {{t|tooltip}} link for an item, you can use the following format:
-* The template name indicates the item has a tooltip.
-* The &#124; '''mode'''= argument is a parameter value passed through from other templates.
-* The &#124; '''args'''= argument is a parameter value passed through from other templates.
-* The &#124; '''width'''= argument is the tooltip width. Typically 18em.
-* The &#124; '''width'''= argument is the tooltip width. Typically 18em.
-* The &#124; ''name'''= argument is the name of the item in the game.
-* The &#124; '''quality'''= argument is the item quality, passed to {{t|quality}} to generate formatted item name.
-* The &#124; '''bind'''= argument is the binding type: BoE, BoU or BoP.
-So at minimum the tooltip should look like this:
-<blockquote>
-&lt;onlyinclude&gt;&#123;&#123;'''tooltip'''<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&#124; '''mode'''=&#123;&#123;mode&#124;&#125;&#125;<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&#124; '''args'''=&#123;&#123;args&#124;&#125;&#125;<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&#124; '''width'''=18em<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&#124; '''name'''=Cruel Barb<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&#124; '''quality'''=Rare<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&#124; '''bind'''=BoP<br>
-&#125;&#125;&lt;/onlyinclude&gt;
-</blockquote>
-See [[Template talk:Tooltip]] for complete details on all the various parameters to fill out a complete tooltip.
-;Things not to do
-* ''Don't make the width wider than 18em. The maximum supported width for hover tooltips is TBD.''
-* ''Don't put extra linebreaks in your parameter contents:''
-** Bad:
-**:&#124; attrib=+4 Strength&lt;br&gt;
-**:+3 Agility&lt;br&gt;
-**:+5 Stamina
-** Good:
-**:&#124; attrib=+4 Strength&lt;br&gt;+3 Agility&lt;br&gt;+5 Stamina
-;If an item article does not have a tooltip or the tooltip is improperly formatted or missing required parameters, the tooltip will show an error:
-:'''Example''' (move your mouse pointer over the link)
-::{{loot|Common|Imaginary item}}
-;You can use the following item to test the contents of various {{t|tooltip}} parameters:
-::{{loot|common|Help:Test loot|Test loot}}
-== {{t|Mob}} and {{t|Mobbox}} ==
-To show the image and basic info for an mob, use ''{{t|Mob}}'' to link to the mob page. This template just passes info to the {{t|NPC}} template below (<tt>faction=</tt> is always "Combat").
-To create an {{t|Mob}} link for an mob, you can use the following format:
-* The template name indicates the target article is about a NPC.
-* The first argument is the name of the NPC's article.
-* The second argument is the title of the NPC.
-<blockquote>
-{|
-|-
-|| '''Example'''
-|| '''Result'''
-|-
-|<nowiki>{{Mob|Alexander Calder|Warlock Trainer}}</nowiki>||{{Mob|Alexander Calder|Warlock Trainer}}
-|-
-|<nowiki>{{Mob|Lord Victor Nefarius|Lord of Blackrock|level=??+}}</nowiki>||{{Mob|Lord Victor Nefarius|Lord of Blackrock|level=??+}}
 |}
-</blockquote>
-''Mobbox info to be added...''
-== {{t|NPC}} and {{t|Npcbox}} ==
-To show the image and basic info for an NPC or mob, use ''{{t|NPC}}'' to link to the NPC page.
-To create an {{t|NPC}} link for an NPC, you can use the following format:
-* The template name indicates the target article is about a NPC.
-* The first argument is the faction the NPC belongs to (Alliance, Horde, or Neutral).
-* The second argument is the name of the NPC's article.
-* The third argument is the title of the NPC.
