Perhaps, but in this case, I think woofie is right the star is almost the same color as the background. Two people on this thread have said they never new it was there until woofie mentioned it. If people don't see it they won't use it, and if they don't use it, what good is it. Maybe something like this. Then have it change to the gold color that it does now when clicked.

Jay has a good point & his solution seems reasonable to me.

Great! Now, if you don't know what it is, it invites you to notice it and wonder.

I was thinking that "Bookmark this" would be a clearer hover-note than "Star this".
But no.
The word "star" links it mentally to "your starred pages".

How about "add this to your starred pages", or "Bookmark this (your starred pages)"?

Thanks, Dave!

BTW, also thanks for talking me into switching browsers, many moons ago. It was like getting my first pair of glasses: suddenly I could SEE things on many websites that were never there before.
