Description Church of emacs 2008-10-06 17:53:48 UTC 
I think all those abbreviations must be very confusing for new editors. Therefor it'd be nice to have a <span style="cursor:help" title="minor edit"> wrapped around them.

You can't do that ATM by editing MediaWiki:Minoreditletter (and the corresponding other pages), because Wikisyntax is not enabled for these messages.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2008-10-06 17:57:07 UTC 
Is <abbr> appropriate here, or would that interfere with screen readers? (Or would it be more right for screen readers?)

(I'd also recommend using a global style to set the cursor; if using a <span> then a class would be more appropriate than hardcoded style attributes.)
