Hovercards for related pages would be neat.

I love hovercards and would like to see the feature implemented for related pages as well.

Hi @MammothManni, can you please elaborate a bit on that? You mean you would like related pages cards to resemble those of hovercards?

Sorry if I was not clear. I would like to see a hovercard open up if I hover over the suggested related page card that is shown underneath the article. I.e. a short preview of the related page should open up, the same short preview that also pops up if you hover over a link within an article and have the beta-feature "hovercards" activated.

I see what you mean now. Basically making the cards more brief and hoverable. This is a design decision @Npangarkar (WMF) that requires research I guess.

Basically I want more information about the related page before clicking on it. You could make the card bigger and integrate more info already. Or, and that was my suggestion, just make a small window pop up with more information when you hover over the card.

@MammothManni Hey, this sounds like a good idea, we can expand the related pages card on hover. the bigger issue is we are still figuring out the value of related pages on desktop. you mentioned hovercards, so I'm assuming you are talking wikipedia on desktop (Vector) there have been discussions about removing related pages feature from Vector. @Melamrawy (WMF) can we look into the progress of consultation around that?

@Npangarkar (WMF) Yes, I am using Vector and only talking about the desktop version.
