- Description
Wiki links (not external links) get a title in a tooltip that has the same content as the link text, so if you hover over a link to "HomePage", there'll be a tooltip saying "HomePage". This isn't helpful and also gets an accessibility warning error, I guess for cluttering the interface with redundant text. This doesn't happen with links made by WikiWords (camelcase links) but does happen with links made with double parentheses, which is the more common method these days probably.
Looking for info about this at doc.t.o, I noticed some wiki links had helpful titles that turned out to be the page description text of the target page, which does a good job as the link title. These can be seen at, for example, https://doc.tiki.org/Wiki-Syntax-Links#Wiki_Pages in the "Result" column of the table.
But it seems like most wiki pages don't have anything in the page description field, or maybe that feature isn't even turned on, so I think it would be best, if the feature is off or if there is no page description input for the target page, the link shouldn't have a link title. This would be better than redundantly showing the link text.
