Ha! Okay, that makes more sense. :)

Thanks. I was actually asking about w.wiki but I
responded to the wrong
thread. :)

Hi James,
thanks! Reference Previews work on MediaWiki wikis, and
Wikimediafoundation.org <http://wikimediafoundation.org/> isn't a wiki
(anymore).
Using Reference Previews should work everywhere out of the box where you
can install the Popups extension, because it doesn't need any special
backend service. For more information regarding the specific extension
settings, please have a look at the extension manual
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Popups>.
Hope this helps,
Johanna

This is great news!
Two clarifying questions: (1) Is
Wikimediafoundation.org part of the
service? (2) I am assuming
wmflabs.org is explicitly not included as an
environment with fewer guarantees; can you confirm?
Thanks,
James

Hello,
readers of an article who want to check the article’s citation have to
jump down to the reference section – and that is disturbing their reading
flow. Hence, it was a top wish[1] from the German Wikipedia community to
have previews of references inside the article text.
That’s what the Reference Previews feature does: When you hover over a
footnote marker or click on it, you’ll see a little pop-up with the content
of the reference. This pop-up is similar to the Page Previews[2] pop-ups,
which show previews of linked articles. Reference Previews are also
influenced by the Reference Tooltips gadget, which is used in several
Wikipedias. Additionally, Reference Previews indicate the type of a
reference, which is meant to help readers assess quickly if they consider
the cited source trustworthy. First tests have confirmed this to be helpful.
Reference Previews are being developed by Wikimedia Germany’s Technical
Wishes[3] team, with technical support from the Wikimedia Foundation’s
Reading Web[4] team. The design for this feature is being done by the WMF.
Now, a very first version of Reference Previews will be available as a
beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia. The deployment is planned for
Thursday, April 4. If you want to test it, please have a look at the
information for activating the beta feature.[5] Feedback is very welcome
on the central talk page![6]
If you want to try Reference Previews at an early stage on your wiki,
please let us know on the central talk page.[6]
More information about the wish and the feature can be found on the
project page.[7]
Best,
Johanna for the Technical Wishes team
