The template {{Abbr}} is used to write an abbreviation with its meaning. It is a wrapper for the HTML element <abbr>...</abbr>, the element used by most web browsers to create a tooltip indicating the meaning of an abbreviation or acronym.
Please note: Do not use {{abbr}} or <abbr> to mark up material other than abbreviations or acronyms. Using it to generate tooltips elsewhere is a misuse of the underlying HTML and causes accessibility problems
Usage[edit]
The template takes two unnamed parameters.
1abbreviation– the abbreviation, acronym, or initialism to be explained; shows as text, and may use wikimarkup, such as a link to an article about what it refers to.2meaning– the expansion or definition of the abbreviated term; shows as the popup when you hover over the abbreviation. No wikimarkup can be used in this parameter.
Example[edit]
{{abbr|WMF|Wikimedia Foundation}}
WMF
Linking must be done a particular way[edit]
To wiki-link the abbreviation being marked up by this template, wrap the template in the link, not vice-versa, or the meaning will not appear in some browsers, including Chrome.
