Bug ID: 60595
Summary: Hover text for Vector's watchlist button (star icon)
is not explicative enough
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.23-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: design
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Watchlist

Bug 23141 is on the icon itself, but some think that the hover text, supposed
to explain the feature, fails its purpose:
(From comment bug 54730 comment 15)

The current hover text is "Add this page to your watchlist", which indeed
doesn't explain anything: it's just a tautological definition of the word
"watchlist" which used to be the label of the button.
Maybe there's also some way to make it more obvious that one can and should
hover an element?
