Tooltips on mh370wiki.net
A Guide to Using MediaWiki in a Hosted Environment
An instructional website by the developer of mh370wiki.net - a MediaWiki site about Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
MH370 Decoded
The tagline for the mh370wiki.net website is MH370 Decoded. The goal is to explain the 'jargon', simplify the technical terms, and provide the information in context.
This is achieved by providing Tooltips.
The mh370wiki.net website uses the Extension:Lingo. The tooltip terms and descriptions are located in a dedicated namespace because there are hundreds of tooltips. These have been separated into pages alphabetically, using a phonetic alphabet Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta etc., and by Topic, and by Language.
The tooltips in each of these pages is transcluded into the Glossary page used by the extension Lingo. Here are a few lines from that page:-
<h4>Alpha </h4>
{{Tooltips:Alpha}}
<hr>
<h4>Bravo </h4>
{{Tooltips:Bravo}}
<hr>
<h4>Charlie </h4>
{{Tooltips:Charlie}}
<hr>
<h4>Delta </h4>
{{Tooltips:Delta}}
<hr>
<h4>Echo </h4>
{{Tooltips:Echo}}
The terminology pages (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta etc.) are also transcluded into a Glossary page for the website users.
Other tooltips are used in a page context to explain the language used. For example, two of the English Language tooltips have been add to this site and should appear in the contaxt of the sentences below:-
