TL;DR: Per bug 52757 and bug 52759
Currently, [[mw:Extension:MoodBar]] adds a user preference under the "Misc" tab:
This user preference should either be removed entirely (allowing users to hide the UI with a JavaScript gadget or custom CSS) or moved to the "Appearance" user preferences tab (as the other extensions have done).

No, Having a proper user preference is better here. Telling users to disable extensions via js and css mods is a crappy thing to do.
This is a very invasive extension, it's probably best to leave the preference. I'm not sure how it relates to "appearance" though.
Sorry, ignore the bit about "removed entirely" (I was copying the text from bug 52757).

preference. I'm not sure how it relates to "appearance" though.
A) Because it changes the widgets visible on every page.
B) Because there's nowhere else for it to go! :)
Note: It's only in current use on 5 wikis: [[mw:MoodBar#Status]]
Death to the "Misc" tab!
This request seems fine, marking it with the "easy" keyword accordingly (this is a trivial one-line change, I imagine). Quiddity: careful with the copying and pasting. ;-)
Tangentially, it may make sense to file a bug about searching all MediaWiki extensions in Git for other references to the "Misc" user preference tab.
