This is an advert for a new javascript tool which you may find helpful. When you hover the mouse over wikilinks, a list of links pops up. These link directly to pages relevant to the link, such as edit, editTalk, contribs, count (a link to Kate's tool), image thumbnails for image links and so on. I think it's quite nifty! There's a description here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools#Navigation_popups
Installation is a matter of adding a few lines to your monobook.js (or standard.js - this is skin-agnostic).
Let me know what you think! It's still in development so I'd welcome suggestions for improvements.

PS I don't know if it works in IE - it's been developed in firefox.
It doesn't seem to be working for me with Mozilla 1.7.8, or Firefox 1.0.2 (I know its old -- I don't use it anymore...im gonna try to upgrade and use a source copy though, apparently its stable that way..). I'm on debian linux.

As per your message on my user talk, it works now, on Mozilla. I removed firefox to make room for a new copy.
That's pretty cool, I really like it. :)

I really like this tool. I won't use it myself, but I have thought of another, more generically useful way of using it. Currently, Wikipedia uses an ugly kludgey system of footnoting. Having a pop-up, with a short delay, could well be the answer to these issues, as long as it works in IE...
I don't know what other users think of this idea...
