Meaningful hovertext for voting area
I notice that a number is displayed as the hovertext / tooltip when hovering over the voting buttons and current score of a post. Would it be helpful for the hovertext to include a brief description (maybe a word or two) of what this number indicates?
At present I'm curious about what the number means, but extra text in the hovertext seems more helpful for future users than having an answer on Meta.

You are accessing this answer with a direct link, so it's being shown above all other answers regardless of its score. You can return to the normal view.
As sau226 mentioned, this is the score of the post. Since the way we calculate post score can be a little confusing, there's a help center article that explains exactly how it works.
I agree that it'd make sense to add something like "Score: 0.5" or similar, to clarify what that number is.
