Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups
Wikipedia gadget / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Navigation popups is an opt-in Wikipedia feature (gadget) that offers easy access to article previews and several Wikipedia functions in popup windows which appear when you hover the cursor over links. It should not be confused with the default Page Previews and Reference Tooltips, which are more reader-focused popups seen by all anonymous and new users.
- Installation: Enter Special:Preferences and click "Gadgets"; under the "Browsing" section, check the box to enable "Navigation popups: article previews and editing functions pop up when hovering over links", then click save. Follow the instructions on the page to bypass your browser's cache.
