I am not sure if I am just failing my Investigation check, but I could not find a list of all the common tooltip commands/tags.
I do understand the general 'how to' and know that it is not terribly difficult to figure out what most are without the need for a list; however, that doesn't stop '[Tooltip Not Found]' showing up reasonably frequently on the forums. I also have no idea what the correct [monimg]NAME[/ monimg] nomenclature for each creature is.
Because of the above, I thought I'd compile at least all the common tooltip links (borrowing from the 'How to add tooltips' thread), and separate each tag into a spoiler section. If someone has already done something like this or something else in the forums which makes this redundant, please let me know. Otherwise I'll work my way through as many as I can be bothered doing when I can be bothered doing them, adding in any that people post in comments. Anyone who thinks this is useful just needs to remove the space after "/".
Cart, Carriage, Chariot, Sled and Wagon were returning '[Tooltip Not Found]', not sure if they are supposed to have the vehicle tag or whether I entered them incorrectly.
In addition to the list of tags, the biggest tip from the "How to Add Tooltips" thread that isn't self evident, is how to pluralize/rephrase a tag.
Additionally, tooltips support the written text of the tooltip being different from the actual item or monster text. This is great for plurals for example:
Ioun Stones of [ magicitem]ioun stone of strength;Strength[/ magicitem] and [ magicitem]ioun stone of regeneration;Regeneration[/ magicitem] would display as:
[ monster]Wolf;Wolves[/monster] displays as Wolves
After the name of the tag (e.g., [ monster]Skeleton [/ monster], you can type a ";" to rephrase it (e.g. [ monster]Skeleton;Bony Boi[/ monster] is Bony Boi).
Let's try swarm of insects (wasps). If that worked, it's exactly what you'd expect it to be, but you have to double check the monster section to make sure you get the full name right.

I'm going to make this way harder than it needs to be.

Any idea how to link to monsters with parenthetical distinctions like insect swarm (bees)?
I have tried a number of variations and keep getting the error.
Let's try swarm of insects (wasps). If that worked, it's exactly what you'd expect it to be, but you have to double check the monster section to make sure you get the full name right.
Figures they have it listed as wasps, not bees.
