Hi - sorry for the confusion! The name change came as one of the results from the qualitative testing <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Design_Research/Reading_Team_UX_Research/Hovercards_Usability#Answers_to_Research_Questions> on the feature. Since not all of our users know the definition of "hover", the previous name was inappropriate. "Page previews" was the most common name with which the tested users referred to the feature naturally. There's also a (very) short note on the beta feature page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Beta_Features/Hovercards#Upcoming_Name_Change> explaining the rationale. - Olga -- Olga Vasileva // Product Manager // Reading Web Team https://wikimediafoundation.org/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
