Feedback implies subordinate clause
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

When entering feedback through MoodBar, it asks "Editing RobinWiki made me [...] because..." plus a subordinate/dependent clause.

In English, this does not change the text itself. "I had a problem" is the same as "[Editing RobinWiki made me sad because] I had a problem".

In e.g. Dutch, it is different: "Ik had een probleem" vs. "Het bewerken maakte mij triest omdat] ik een probleem had".

This is not really a problem, but on Special:FeedbackDashboard it gives "Ik een probleem had", which sounds weird because it is shown as an independent text whereas it is part of another sentence.

It would be good if this was somehow explained, e.g. by adding "because" between the happy/sad/confused face and the actual text; or at least make it possible to customise it per language.

It's not a big issue, but it would be nice to make that clear on that special page. FYI, this issue was also mentioned on http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:De_kroeg#MoodBar
