Fyi, mobile team :)

@tomasz: If you would like to see this on your desktop: It's available as a Beta Feature called "Hovercards", see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Beta_Features/Hovercards And on mobile in alpha mode: Tap the hamburger menu (3 lines on the top left), click settings and enable the beta mode. Save and do it again and enable experimental mode now. After that you can swipe on an internal link from left to right (or vice versa) and you see a preview :)

Thanks for your great Feedback!

Best, Florian

Hi! So I'm just going through the latest Wikimedia Foundation quarterly report, and I stumbled on a short passage that mentions a feature of the mobile Wikipedia app that I really, really enjoy using.

The ability to view a link preview when clicking on an article link inside the app is just fantastic. Not only does it save time when you only need to quickly look up a fact, but the way that the app does it is elegant and fast.

I'm using the alpha version of the app on an Android 5.1 smartphone, and the report says it's also in the beta version, but I do hope it will be added to the stable app too :-)

So, to cut a long story short: a huge thank you and please-keep-it-up to the mobile team for implementing this handy little feature :-)
