I want there to be tooltips in the edit-forms here, at phabricator. For example in the "Title" field, it could tooltip:
Title: A short one-sentence summary that explains the problem (not your suggested solution) If you're changing an existing title completely, perhaps leave a note in the Description below.
(text from mw:How to report a bug, plus my addition)
I'd like to make an upstream request at Phabricator.org, for a customer-customizable tooltip in the software config, but I'm not sure how to phrase it, or what details are needed...
- What accessibility issues need to be considered, for using tooltips in form fields? (e.g. old browsers, screen-readers, accesskeys)
- Do we have any mediawiki guidelines on what developers/extensions should use? (and should they be linked in the Codex e.g. here or is that outside of it's remit?)
- What is the best external documentation, and "best in class" examples?
- Where do we currently store some examples? e.g. the title="Enter a short summary [Alt+Shift+b]" in enwiki's edit-summary field.
- What pragmatic limits are there, on the formatting & length of tooltip content? (can we do split lines in basic HTML? How much harder is it to get clickable links in them? F108798: this is very pretty, but the rendered HTML is gigantic, and it's still not clickable/copyable text.)
- What other things should I/we be asking?
Thanks. :) [Expand/tweak/amend this task, as needed]
