I am redirecting back to the home page of my wesbite and need to know how to change the default hover or tooltip text.

Thank you in advanced :)

Did you search the content of the files for the string shown in the tooltip text already?

This is the text, which is shown when you hover your wiki's logo and this text is coming from the page MediaWiki:Tooltip-p-logo. Change this page to change the text!

Perfect thank you. I am still learning how everything works.

The trick with interface texts like this one is to open a page of the wiki with &uselang=qqx appended to the URL. Then you will see all the label names, which themselves correspond to the same page in the MediaWiki namespace.

Very handy trick. Thank you!

This digresses but you may know the answer. Is there a way to over-right an image already uploaded to the wiki? Re: I uploading instructional images and I have make updates to the images so instead of re-uploading all the images it would be nice if I can replace the existing image with the new images.

Just click the link "upload a newer version of this image" on the image description page :)

That is right. In fact you will need the permission "reupload", e.g. set in LocalSettings.php as

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['reupload'] = true;

That will enable all users to overwrite uploaded images. More information is on Manual:User_rights#List_of_permissions.

No :) This will enable all registered users to overwrite uploaded images :)

Beautiful worked perfectly. Thanks again!

True. I meant all in contrast to "only admins" or "only bureaucrats", which you could get, if you set

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['reupload'] = true;

or

$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['reupload'] = true;
