Thread:User talk:Yair rand/Cite with Reference Tooltips

Hmm, I posed to the wrong wikitalk last month :-(

Has Andrew Garret got in touch with you concerning Reference Tooltips?

The issue as near as I can figure the timeline is:


 * 1) A long time ago Garret added tooltip references as an extension, disabled by default
 * 2) Brandon Harris did some updated designs
 * 3) The new design was redone as a gadget
 * 4) You rewrote the gadget version above with the new designs an extension
 * 5) Garret's changes were enabled by default in a more recent release
 * 6) enwiki disabled this because of the conflict below. :-)
 * 7) CONFLICT! Two extensions that do the same thing, and because of the delay in core releases appearing it made it look a lot worse than it was (due to overlapping timelines).

This is easily fixed by just integrating your stuff and the new designs into Andrew's old ones hooks. You might want to loop in Brandon as he can better explain the innocent mix up. :-)
