Changing MouseOver Text for Links
When you hold your mouse over a link without clicking, sometimes some text appears. This text is called a mouseover or rollover. Depending on whether a link is internal or external, the mouseover/rollover text is either the name of the local wiki page (in case of internal links) or the destination URL saying it will open in a new window (in case of external links.
In order to change the mouseover/rollover text for these links, the span title tags need to be used.
Example:
The following link:
[http://www.gunthergifts.com/flasks.html <span title="Flasks">Liquor Flasks</span>]
If you hover over Liquor Flasks, you will see the text Flasks only.
Trying:
[[Flasks.com|<span title="Flasks">Liquor Flasks</span>]]
If you hover over Liquor Flasks, you will see the text Flasks only.
