Hi everyone,
I've come up with a rough OOjs-UI-based rewrite of the long-standing
Reference Tooltips <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reference_Tooltips>
gadget.
I'd like to see it enabled on Wikimedia sites as a beta feature, to
ultimately replace the gadget, but I'm not sure it is worth an extension
on its own.
It could share some code with the Popups extension
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Popups> but, unlike the
latter, the former does not depend on neither TextExtracts nor PageImages.
The Cite extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite> is
required for references to work, so the tooltips could just be an
additional feature. However, I don't feel comfortable with embedding
such an experiment into a cornerstone of ours like Cite.
VectorBeta <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VectorBeta>
includes many features of this kind, but reference tooltips are really
not Vector-specific.
Which do you think is the most suitable repository?
