curl and hist should have a tooltip on hover

When viewing the history page, each line has a curl and hist function.
If this can not be hidden from guests then these should be replaced by images for SEO reasons. This would probably be best for usability as well. See this icon:

For usability there should be a tooltip on hover that shows what the function does. So the hist link should have a tooltip 'history'

Otherwise the page is too confusing for users and the power of VW is that it allows forum users to use wiki without learning wiki language. So we need to have more KISS implemented.

In summary, users find the terms "cur" and "hist" confusing in their own right. We now plan to improve these terms to be more verbose and understandable.

As for SEO, none of the Special pages should get indexed/crawled by spiders as it is (they should have noindex,nofollow robots meta tags). Links to them should explicitly have rel="nofollow" already. Otherwise, the links use permissions. If you want to prevent guests from seeing version comparisons or other history pages, you won't grant them permission to see it.

I won't mark either report as Duplicate, since both mention other issues with Recent Changes that need to be addressed.

After reviewing this, IMO the entire history list needs a makeover. It does not need to look like old-school MediaWiki listings.

Completed in the next release. There should now be significantly lower usage of strange terms like "cur" and "hist", as many of the History-related pages have been redesigned.
