There exist a couple of clients that fetch previews of pages that I know of. The iOS app shows a preview if you long press a link IIRC and Page Previews shows a preview if you hover over a link.
When Page Previews was deployed to all of the Wikipedias, we understood that we were introducing a different way to interact with their content. We instrumented that interaction in such a way that it could be reported on like the more traditional pageview interaction. We call this interaction a virtual pageview. In August there were 15.7 billion pageviews and 1.6 billion virtual pageviews by users (see the description of the agent_type
column at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Traffic/Webrequest#wmf.webrequest) across all projects.
Please consider adding this use case into epic #1, either by folding it into use case 1 or adding a distinct one, e.g.
As a Reader, I want to get a preview of a page so that I can use the additional information to help me better understand a subject.
As a Reader, I want to get a preview of a page so that I can make a quick, informed decision about jumping into a topic related to a subject.
