Pop Up Preview for Linked Articles

If I link another article, it would be really helpful to be able to have wikipedia style pop up previews when you hover over those links. -- Similar to glossary word previews.

Really cool idea. How much content should we show on hover?

Ambrish Patel

Emil Hajric Maybe just something similar to Wikipedia? Article Title, subtitle, first image, and maybe the first 140 characters of text (faded out or ellipsis) ?

We have a heavyweight preview window implemented on our KB (https://install.simutechgroup.com/info-license-manager-system-requirements ) but I think a lighter weight preview like Wikipedia would be nice.

Caleb Scharf

yes please. the Scienta theme does this when you click an article from a category page, but it can't do this for hyperlinks within an article.

I'd totally settle for just a link to the other item in a new window. Then I can see it and edit if needed while not leaving the page I'm on. Furthermore, if the article number link had a page title appear on hover, that would at least tell me what's on the other side in case I've already edited that one.

Yes, yes, yes -that would be absolutely great! Like wikipedia!

Hannah Judkins

This would be a nice User Experience improvement.
