I notice that the tooltips currently used in revision histories are extremely unhelpful. Particularly, "cur" and "prev" both just contain the article title, rather than explaining what they are. Could we change these to instead mirror the explanations at the top of the page: "difference from current version" for "cur" and "difference from preceding version" for "prev"?

@Aklapper is there anyone at WMF currently working on the page history interface who I could ping about this? It seems like it ought to be a very simple tweak.
