Let us have more relevant tooltips for up/down vote buttons

Sometimes when stumbling across a question I wonder if I should upvote / downvote or not. When this happened on SE sites, I hovered over the buttons and read the description.

Currently, Codidact seems to inform me about the change in the total score (e.g. 0.666667), but this is not particularly useful.

I think we should have tooltips with static text indicating when it is appropriate to up/down vote. A per-site setting (thanks Mithical for this idea) would be even better since the generic "useful, shows some effort..." clearly does not fit to every community.
