Are tooltips really supposed to be full urls?

In both Firefox and Chromium (for me, anyway) the tooltips for links are full urls rather than just the name of the page, which seems suboptimal because it clutters them up, and doesn't even seem to be intentional because the developer tools in Chromium show that the source code for the tooltips isn't "https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Whatever", it's "Main/Whatever". Something is converting it to a full url, probably due to the slash causing it to be interpreted as a partial url (which it is) that needs converted to a full one for the sake of making links work properly (which it doesn't, since it's a tooltip, not an href); maybe nothing can be done, but it seems like tooltips shouldn't behave this way. I searched for discussion of this issue and couldn't find anything except for me whining in various less appropriate places.

Support this. May be we should have article names, as in The Other Wiki, and not full links. With prefixes, like "Main / Poe's Law" and not "https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PoesLaw". ("Main" prefix may be omitted.)

Site surfing made even less convenient by suppressing visited link highlighting: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14362452790A16641700&page=1#1, which is a poor design practice for informational websites.
