Nono, the tooltip example is in the image, sorry if that's not clear. For demonstration, I've put this into action with the Ancient Plate Mail page. Go there, look at it, mousehover the "notice" icons in the info box, and tell us how that feels.
I can make the actual images for stats/abils link to those pages, sure.

The only reason to have those particular tooltips in those particular spots is to aid new players in understanding how parts of the game work. I figure shoving this info down throats on every page might reduce the number of questions I get asked (and you ;P) about what HP "ability" actually is (almost every armor has this "ability"). If we want to direct players to a page that has information on health (the actual health page, harhar) then that would work too. We don't need these tooltips at all, I just think they're cute.

Yes I love tooltips, but I don't overuse them like I do show/hide tabs :P

It just seems like I do, cause that's what I've been messing around with lately, A LOT ;P. The other project gave me a bit of an idea, as did the discussion page for the Ancient Plate.

focus of this suggestion is getting ability pictures into the templates instead of text, but there could be confusion regarding heat level (images of abils are at level 1) vs. health (which is higher for most armor/helms at heat level 10). Thus tooltip thought.

The system as it is now totally works, this is just an idea - helps people know what to look for in-game and on-wiki if stuff looks the same, that's all.

Another format option:
separate health and actual SPECIAL ability images. As I have it now, health is just lobbed into the same picture.
This way, we can have images for HP link to health, and images for special abilities/penalites (like + handgun damage) link to Abilities. Also fueling these thoughts is Flowcharts (and my) desire to update stat images to the crisp, clean UI format.

I'll drum up another screenshot shortly.

heeeeeeeeeeee

Obviously I'm inspired right now, because I discovered things I can do in code I never thought I could before, so it's just spilling out all over the place.

Problem with this is the huge number of new images that would need cropping and floating, and while yes, I can do those, I don't want to, but I also don't like asking for help all that much, cause ppl are like "that's YOUR project, don't ask us for help!"

But help with ability/health images, if we implement, would be...great yes.

Working on uploading an image for the alternate format, just had some things to do on the sprite page.

@Glacies: good ideas, but I'm not sure what you mean by highlighted text (the tooltip?). I had the special properties there cause ppl don't seem to like that an "ability" can be a penalty, but I guess we'll just have to make them deal with it and stay consistent. I had the two links there in the HP section cause I wasn't sure which to link to for more benefit - fusing the info from the clockworks page into the health page is a "oh, total duh" moment, yes we should do that.

@chesh: there's not too many steps, basically this just replaces typing in non-health abilities with uploading an image, which is easier for some and harder for others. I try to make things intuitive for future editors - like fixing my junk codes around the place with plug-n-chug things (furniture is next). If anything is confusing, please ask me to do a template documentation or something (for a long time I didn't know that was a thing >,..,> cause a lot of templates I learned from didn't have it).
