I’m considering switching from Navpopups to Hovercards, so I had a look on what features I’d miss:
- Section previews (phab:T65792)
- Section previews when hovering a link in the TOC
- Diff previews, especially from the watchlist (I’m reading my watchlist almost exclusively that way) and page histories
- Because the image is so large and makes the text appear in different locations, it takes significantly longer to focus on the beginning of the preview text
- An overview of the page history (on hovering a link in the preview box)
- An overview of a user’s recent contributions (on hovering a link in the preview box)
- "Previews" (actually, full content) of references (solved by Reference Tooltips, actually nicer than Navpopups)
- The ability to "hover through" categories (especially on commons)
- Getting further information (basicly the information template, Navpopups simply shows the template source code in this case) on files in categories (from files embedded in articles that might get annoying, but could maybe also be useful)
- In the case of no lead paragraph… (as I’ve read over here) just preview whatever’s next?
- Seeing where a redirect leads to
- Seeing the first few entries of a disambig page
(thanks for fixing the shitty formating from this Flow thingy and the link to the overview phab ticket, kind strangers :-) )
If this were a regular talk page, I’d just say „feel free to add phab links to the list items“, but I’m not sure whether that’s possible in Flow… Anyway, I hope this feedback is helpful :-)
