12701	"""Tooltips"" in admin list view"	mrts	nobody	"When working with complex models that contain a lot of information, cramming all of it into `list_display` columns in admin is sometimes infeasible (e.g. the grid becomes too large or cluttered or the information is just a useful minor detail that is not required in the birds-eye view -- last changed timestamps, editor name etc). Perhaps it makes sense to support tooltip-style popups for additional row-specific detailed information.

Either the `title` tag or [http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo2.html pure-CSS popups] could be used for this. However, `title` is (or was) cut off at 70 characters in Gecko-based browsers, so pure-CSS popups should be used.

`list_display_tooltips` with similar semantics to `list_display` looks like a sensible way of declaring them.

Will attach a patch eventually."	New feature	closed	contrib.admin	dev	Normal	needsinfo	design_ux		Design decision needed	0	0	0	0	0	1
