Topic on Talk:Page Previews/Flow

For plain text it's perfect, but if there are alot of links close to each other, like tables for example it's not as good.

You would have to purposely go around the links to not get a hovercard, it can get quite frustrating/annoying.

Example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Valentino_Rossi#Career_statistics

A motorcycle in that table could also be displayed once, instead of over and over again while it has the same name.

It should be limited in my opinion, but it would take time to adjust it properly since it's not a simple thing to get right.

Hmm, at Enwiki there's a Manual of Style guideline, that recommends only linking an item once per article en:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking#Overlinking (although there's a specific mention of tables being somewhat exempt - I assume because of the possibility of "sorting" a table...). However, the en:Wikipedia:Featured lists I just checked don't seem to follow this very closely at all. :-/

Anyway, thanks for the feedback. :)
