Topic on Talk:Page Previews/Flow

Maybe we could have a tool within the article's page that would allow users to select a picture and create a summary for the article. Some of the images that are displayed are not relevant, but otherwise it works perfectly.

Currently it's using an automated extract, for both the text and the image.

Re: text - creating a manual summary override, would be difficult to do cleanly and at the large scale required. For the moment, it's best to just write the lead sentence in a way that extracts well, both for Hovercards and for external search engine result-blurbs. (Eventually, it might be possible to use the Wikidata descriptions, and that would be much more efficient than duplicating essentially the same task, but currently they're intended to be very short, at 2-12 words. eg. d:Q42: Douglas Adams: "English writer and humorist".)

Re: Image - There was some discussion about making a "use this image instead" override (via template or magicword). I'll see if I can find out what happened to that... Thanks for the reminder.
