Tooltips
- Location - used to generate maps on hover with coordinate square highlighted. Calls template:position to achieve this, which calls template:Location Tooltip... its a mess
- Location Tooltip - similar to Location but with more funcationality I think. Calls Template:tooltip
- Tooltip - this seems to be the base template used by all tooltip functionality. Assigns html id and css classes so some javascript function can pick it up and display a tooltip.
Miscellaneous
- Item Tooltip - not used commonly but Ill mention here lol. I built that one to generate the tooltips on the ArmorTable and WeaponsTable. Can be used on any Item really. Uses a dpl call to get the icon from the item page by looking into the Item Image template on that page and grabbing the filename. calls template:tooltip to generate the tooltip
- Stat - used to display stats in a uniform manner on item pages, capital letters, link, bold, ...
- Changes - comes with the tooltip.
- Verification - adds a warning triangle that information may not be accurate.
- Command - to be used on any Command/??? pages.
