After discussion with members of the product team (Brandon, Munaf, Dario, etc.) it's clear we need to tone down the call-to-action driving users to MoodBar, for the following reasons... * We know that a large portion of people clicking the Edit button for the first time do not hit Save. This is for a variety of reasons, including everything from scary wikitext to simply not finding the save button. In order to reduce distractions, this tooltip needs to go away, at least until after we figure out a more ideal time to display it than when a user has elected to click Edit. * As a subset of the above problem, the tooltip conflicts with the guided tour we are about to enable for English Wikipedia users taking part in Special:GettingStarted tasks. * The orange tooltip style is extremely loud and is out of sync with other tooltip styles currently or planned to be in use. It needs to be redesigned. * Responses to MoodBar posts is extremely low at the moment. (See: http://toolserver.org/~DarTar/fd/) We should figure out how to help community members find and respond to posts on Special:FeedbackDashboard more consistently, and quit driving so many new users to a place where they aren't going to get a response.

Please consider marking this as fixed?
