Racist message when hovering over "Quality of Life"

I'm new so I am not exactly sure how to fix this, but as the title states, hovering over "Quality of Life" mentioned several times in this article displays a racist text but only while hovering. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can fix it, and if possible let me know how to do it myself for the future! Unknowndust (talk) 02:58, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the quality of life article was vandalized, but it's been cleaned up. Squeakachu (talk) 03:02, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
