#8197: Tooltip formatting issues in WP-CLI Handbook (missing link and extra
period)

**Describe the current, buggy behavior**
There are tooltip formatting and linking issues in the WP-CLI Handbook
documentation pages.
1. On the handbook page, the **tooltip for “plugin” does not contain a
link** when hovering over the word.
2. On some pages, the tooltip text includes an **extra period (.) at the
end**, which looks like a formatting mistake.
These issues affect the readability and consistency of the documentation.
Affected pages:
*
[https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/)
*
[https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/installing/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/installing/)
* [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/quick-
start/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/quick-start/)
**Describe how other contributors can replicate this bug**
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to the WP-CLI handbook page:
[https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/)
2. Hover over the **“plugin”** word.
3. Notice that the tooltip appears but **no link is attached**.
Additional issues:
1. Go to:
[https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/installing/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/installing/)
2. Hover over **“php”**.
3. The tooltip shows **an extra period (.) at the end**.
Another example:
1. Go to:
[https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/quick-
start/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/quick-start/)
2. Hover over **“multisite”**.
3. The tooltip text contains **an unnecessary extra period (.)**.
**Describe what you would expect as the correct outcome**
* The tooltip for **“plugin”** should contain the correct reference link
if it is meant to link to plugin documentation.
* Tooltip text should **not include unnecessary extra punctuation**, such
as an extra period (`.`).
* Tooltip formatting should remain **consistent across the handbook
documentation**.
**Provide a possible solution**
* Check the glossary or tooltip configuration used in the WP-CLI handbook.
* Ensure the **“plugin” term has the correct link reference attached**.
* Remove the **extra period (`.`)** from tooltip definitions for terms
like `php` and `multisite`.
**Provide additional context/Screenshots**
Screenshots showing the tooltip issues can help illustrate the problem.
