Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I've noticed some tooltips for user interface elements are not particularly helpful. Just now I was in the macro editor and the tooltip for Allow Players to Edit Macro was "Select this to allow players to edit this macro."

Describe the solution you'd like It would be more useful to say, "Selecting this will allow players to edit this macro, but trusted macros require this to be turned off." Or something similar. I'd like the tooltip to describe the use case behind why the checkbox should be selected rather than just replicating the text of the checkbox.

Additional context There are a lot of individual tooltips that could be improved. I'm not sure how to add such a list to an issue on GitHub. Should an issue be opened for each panel/dialog that needs better wording? This might be the best approach, since some of the panels might not be 100% localized yet, so some coding may be involved, and it makes sense to change the code on a panel-by-panel basis.

Yeah. I'd say one issue per panel or dialog.
