Question
I noticed your addition of the "circa" mark up. I liked it and went to add it to another figure who also has no known specific month date for their birth. But, I noticed just now an odd underline on the "c" and when I hover over it a question mark appears on the curser. I have never seen that before. Is that supposed to happen?--Mark Miller (talk) 22:46, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The template uses Abbr, which implements , which gives a tooltip that browsers are supposed to implement by giving a message in the notice area explaining the acronym or abbreviation. It should appear in the same area that says "Waiting for https://en.wikipedia.org ..." when you are loading a page.  That's not why I use the template, though—it's so I don't have to think about how it's formatted (e.g. should there be a space or not?—or a period?)

 * I don't know about the space, but I have seen the abbreviation with and without the period.--Mark Miller (talk) 04:45, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * MOS:DATE actually specifies it, but using the template means I never have to remember which arbitrary format is the current "preferred" one—and if the MOS ever changes, someone can just update the template and—voilà—all the pages using the template automagically become MOS-compliant.

 * Oh...well I like that.--Mark Miller (talk) 05:31, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
