--- Comment #17 from Krinkle <[email protected]> ---
I've heard a fair amount of noise on the wikis from users not appreciating the
usefulness of this. I'll try to summarise the concerns and suggestions below.
I've translated some of them to different angles as I believe the response was
exaggerated due to the visual footprint (a legend on itself should be useful,
and should remain I believe).

I don't dispute its usefulness, but I understand the concerns. The main issue
here is that this new legend is too large and quite "in your face" and way too
prominent on the top of a page active editors use very frequently. I don't
think such a big box is justified.

Encouraging CSS modifications as a first response is imho not an acceptable
solution for this, but can work as a temporary work-around for tech-savvy
users.

It adds clutter to an already over-populated system and can make it just that
extra bit of overwhelming that I think this is a user experience regression.

It looks like design input was requested on this issue, did this change end up
getting design input?

As a first aid, I would recommend moving it to the bottom of the page (similar
to how recent changes used to have, where did that one go by the way?).

Also note that most of these icons have tooltips that do provide some
information (though that's not a great UX either).
