Tooltips

From MoodleDocs
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

This page is aimed at listing all of the parts of Moodle that have inadequate or missing tooltips and providing suggestions for text to add to them.

Each tooltip should have three things:

  • The name of the item
  • How it works
  • Why you would want to use it

Occasionally all 3 will not be necessary (e.g. Delete), but that should be a rare exception, not the rule.
