an alternative implementation
so an alternative implementation is available (and actually also enabled by default, so used by anons also) on hewiki for some time now (it's available as a gadget since feb 2012, and is on by default after some user feedback since march). for actual implementation please see he:Mediawiki:Gadget-CiteTooltip.js. it uses jquery.tipsy, so if you want to use it, add dependency for jquery.tipsy in your gadget-definition page. it also contains some code to deal with RTL vs. LTR cite-notes. if your wiki does not support cite-notes directionality, it can be simplified a bit. קיפודנחש (talk) 21:57, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
