Topic on Talk:Page Previews/Flow

The hovercards used to have a "last edited - X minutes ago" feature.

I haven't seen it in a while. It was quite helpful to me.

Why was it removed?

I don't know why that was removed (I'm not involved in that team). However, if that feature is important to you, then you may want to turn off Hovercards and enable the more complicated/feature-filled NAVPOPS browsing gadget instead.

Here's a simple comparison of the two:

The "Hovercard" is the top one, with the big picture. NAVPOPS is the lower one (and sometimes contains small picture, although not in this particular screenshot).

Hi,

Thanks!

I still prefer the hovercard that showed the date but this is useful too.

Many thanks!

There's another related topic that discusses whether this feature and others should be enabled in the Page Previews/Hovercards tool, called "What metadata should be displayed (article quality, last edited, user views, settings icon etc.)?". See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Tg8m178nj6doq7k3.
