[[User:TwoTailedFox|TwoTailedFox]] has <nowiki>{{t|Tooltip}} </nowiki> and <nowiki>{{t|TooltipA}} </nowiki> ready for use.
I've applied the latter (which is used for anime cards) to the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V - Episode 089|latest anime episode]]. It can be used a replacement for <nowiki>{{t|Monster}} </nowiki> and can be applied to all cards. I believe its ideal for use in the Featured Duel sections, but I wouldn't use it for Decklists. Simply hover over a link that uses this and it pulls up all relevant card information in a pop-up. This eliminates the need for specifying initial monster stats, among other things.
I'm unsure whether we want to use it in prose sections (so, the summary sections of episodes and the bulk of most character articles) and would appreciate any input on that subject.
:#:: ''He uses this card to fuse "Elemental HERO Avian[table of details for "Avian"...]" with "Elemental HERO Burstinatrix[table of details for "Burstinatrix"...]" in order to Fusion Summon "Evil HERO Inferno Wing[table of details for "Inferno"...]".''
:#:Although Google seems to have read [[Card Appearances:Dark Fusion]] without that issue.
:I did make a similar template, [['''Template:Card link]]''', which avoids all those problems, except for #4, but has a few problems of its own, particularly [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Card_link/doc?useskin=wikia in the default skin]. It's better, but not perfect, [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Card_link/doc?useskin=monobook in monobook]. -- [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] ([[User talk:Deltaneos|talk]]) 21:45, January 21, 2016 (UTC)
So, this has also been applied to [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V - Episode 090|the article]] on this week's episode, this time in concert with <nowiki>{{T|Monster}}</nowiki>. I can't be clearer with my opinion here: I HATE that monster template with a passion. When it was created, I made very clear that Tooltips would be replacing it.
Now, if the community disagrees, that's obviously fine and we can have a discussion. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 19:20, January 25, 2016 (UTC)
:Eh, I was the one who integrated both templates at the same time. I thought it'd be a good idea at first, but I can see why it could be a problem, since with the new template, you can just hover over the card link to get its stats. I can revert the article back to the new template if anyone else sees that as a problem.

::Give me an hour; the mobile skin hasn't allowed me to edit for ages, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to image upload (failing that I'll upload them from my phone to deviantart, get them off deviantart onto a USB and then upload them into the wiki from the computer.)

::Uploaded. Hmm. That's interesting; the phone doesn't let me edit but does let me upload. [[User:Sanokal K-T|Sanokal K-T]] ([[User talk:Sanokal K-T|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sanokal K-T|contribs]]) 02:20, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

:::Ok, wow. That's horribly broken. Fun. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 04:04, February 25, 2016 (UTC)
:So, given some more thought, I'm very hesitant to move forward with this. The mobile issue is pretty crippling and we have to consider Mobile users. That being said, I still, very much dislike the monster template. Therefore, I'm now asking for someone to convince me we should keep using it (or at the very least the code needs to be cleaned up, which isn't something I can do myself).
:There's also the [['''Template:Card link|card link]] ''' template Deltaneos linked to above. That has potential as well to replace the Monster template. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 18:38, March 13, 2016 (UTC)
:I followed the link in the mobile section for Delta's Cardlink template, and it seems to work fine there. (Well, it doesn't bring up any hover, it just shows the link, but that's fine by me.)
