Description Steven Walling 2013-04-23 07:12:12 UTC 
In some current forms (e.g. English Wikipedia, French, others) and the new redesign currently being drafted in core (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/57823/), there is either reference to or a link to the username policy. 

Especially in our redesign, it probably makes sense to have a pithy description of the username policy provided by a tooltip. When we've ran remote usability tests, we've seen users go to the username policy page and then bounce back to the account creation page. This is validated by the data from https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:ServerSideAccountCreation: the logs for which currently show that the username policy is the number three referrer for account creation on English Wikipedia.

Adding Matt as assignee if we do this, since he is the author of guided tours and is the tooltip master. ;)

We're looking at using Tipsy for this.
