Note: similar patches can be done in many managers.

Do we really need to create some of these tooltips. I know its the author because it is in the author column. Adding a tooltip to remind me of that 20 times on the page doesnt help it just clutters

The title="<?php echo JText::_('JACTION_EDIT'); ?>" already exists in the code and the tooltip displayed is not conform
It displays in black over yellow as it was here before patch

This ONLY adds the right class to the link to display white text on black background.

If you consider that these are unnecessary, the title and author (and maybe others) should be removed all over the back-end.

I agree it should be either a proper tooltip like JM suggests or completely remove it if deemed unnecessary.

I agree that this should be a proper tooltip

I dont agree with adding tooltips to things that dont already have them (or
need them)

For this specific one I only agree it needs something because the icons
used are not consistent with the UI and are not easy to understand. I would
prefer they were changed completely but for speed and a first step I agree
in changing to a proper tooltip

I agree that we should probably consistently remove these 'useless' tooltips. But for consistency merging this.

@test works fine

Why are you merging something that you say is useless. If you want
consistency, and we all do, then remove the other useless tooltips dont add
more. This makes no sense at all

I personally don't have the time to go through and remove all these tooltips and in the meantime this PR has sat here for 11 days with no alternatives being submitted (and it's not like it's a big b/c thing where it can't be easily reverted next release). If you want to spend some time doing the PR then feel free else I'm going to go for consistency.
