Hello. Don't know if I'm right here, but didn't found a better place …

So I was surfing on the article Cooking (The Sims 3), where there were reference tooltips with the option to disable them, with the hint to a link on the footer of the page, where I could change the settings to re-enable them.

I disabled the tooltips.

And now I can't find that link to change this setting. I found another site, explaining the mechanism behind reference tooltips. There indeed is some link "Reference Tooltip Settings" at the footer of the page, but it seems hardcoded and isn't contained in the source code.

Why is it missing here? And how can I re-enable the tooltips? --CompleCCity (talk) 11:07, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

I can't even get the reference tooltips pop-up to appear on here the same way it does on the other wiki. I did a bit of looking around and its contained in the common.js file, however this does appear to be defective since its not working here the way it does on the RuneScape Wiki and it looks like you're having troubles with it too. I don't know that much about .js but I'll try to fix it, probably by finding a better version. ―ฬђ ^talk 11:42, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

I personally use Popups as an alternative to ref-tooltips, and it provides a number of other features as well. It doesn't look good on darker-color wikis, but it works fine on The Sims Wiki.

I add the following to my global.js page so it loads on all wikis:

// Adds NavigationPopups
// [[wikipedia:User:Lupin/popups]]
mw.loader.load("//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&smaxage=21600&maxage=86400");
popupRevertSummary = 'Revert to revision dated %s by %s, oldid %s using [[:wikipedia:Wikipedia:Popups|popups]]';
popupQueriedRevertSummary = 'Revert to revision $1 dated $2 by $3 using [[:wikipedia:Wikipedia:Popups|popups]]';
popupExtendedRevertSummary = 'Revert to revision dated %s by %s, oldid %s using [[:wikipedia:Wikipedia:Popups|popups]]';
popupQueriedRevertToPreviousSummary = 'Revert to the revision prior to revision $1 dated $2 by $3 using [[:wikipedia:Wikipedia:Popups|popups]]';
popupRevertToPreviousSummary = 'Revert to the revision prior to revision %s using [[:wikipedia:Wikipedia:Popups|popups]]';
popupRevertSummaryPrompt = true;
// END Adds NavigationPopups

It works for me, at least. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 12:16, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

Er… That doesn't bring back the ref-pop-up. The thing it has changed for me is, that when chosing "Customize" on the bottom of each page, no Customize Toolbar opens, instead a big red block with an "x" appears. Could you please repair this? -- CompleCCity (talk) 17:04, February 27, 2015 (UTC)
