User Interaction Consultation/Hovercards for non-logged in users

From mediawiki.org

Brief Description

[edit]

Showing hovercard information to readers can increase curiosity (citation needed) and perhaps increase reader engagement (research needed).

If you haven't seen this feature, try it out here by:

  1. logging into wikipedia on our desktop version of the site
  2. clicking on "Beta" in the top-right menu.
  3. Selecting "hovercards"
  4. Clicking "save"
  5. Go to any article and hover the mouse over a link.

Problem it solves

[edit]

Non-logged users do not see any additional information about the page behind the blue link when hovering over it. It could increase engagement by showing readers the additional comment.
