[TUX] Reduce inconsistency in tooltip types
Open, MediumPublic

Description

I'm now seeing a 3rd kind in TUX.

Type 1: "yellow tooltip": https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=out-waymarked-trails-0-all&language=nl&filter=&action=page -> check the pencil mark.
Type 2: "white balloon": https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=out-waymarked-trails-0-all&language=nl&filter=&action=proofread -> lights up at the top item.
Type 3: "light grey": https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=out-waymarked-trails-0-all&language=nl&filter=&action=proofread -> hover the pencil icon right of the translation.

This isn't a consistent implementation at all. We should decide on if we need multiple presentations of tooltip, if so which, and when to use which. Then it should be made consistent.

Now there are only two types left: except for #3, all tooltips use the native tooltip style (yellow for you, black for me).

Do people think this is sufficiently addressed?

#3 and #4 should look the same—they’re both edit icons, the only difference is that #3 appears on the proofread screen, while #4 appears on the translate screen, nothing else. (To keep them consistent with the other two, I’d say use the native popup for both.)

If I remember correctly, the reason for different kind of tooltips was that on first time view of the page, we would show the tooltip on page load to draw attention to the action. That may need revisiting if we switch to native tooltips.
