Topic on Talk:Page Previews/Flow

What if we could include more information into Hovercards depending on whether we're displaying an article referring to a person, an event, a movie, a TV show, etc.? Basically, we could include extra information in Hovercards depending on the category of the article. The best example I can give is for people's date of birth and death, which is removed in the Hovercard preview because it's usually contained inside parenthesis. Check the following examples I've created to see how this could be implemented.

PS: I've also used ellipsis (...) in the end of the Hovercard in the first image because I prefer to have some indicator that the sentence is unfinished (thought that's another question/issue).

• 

  Showing date of birth and death for a person-related article

• 

  Showing work's name and author for a painting-related article

Great ideas for furthering Hovercards, once more information is able to be pulled from Wikidata, a lot of this will be possible. We can add these tasks to the backlog for the feature.

@Jaredzimmerman (WMF): where in the backlog did you file the wikidata integration suggestion? I can't see it in trello/phab/wiki, but don't want to duplicate your efforts.

@NunoAgostinho: Including an ellipsis is part of phab:T67845. :)

I didn't file anything yet.
