Description Derk-Jan Hartman 2014-07-03 09:22:16 UTC 
Currently Hovercards just takes the title attribute and uses that value as the article that it wants to preview.

This does not handle many types of links, nor is not very reliable in combination with image links.

Hovering an image like: [[File:S can.gif|18px|link=Cancer (astrology)|Cancer]] Will show you the article 'Cancer' instead of 'Cancer (astrology)' for instance, because inline images set their link title attribute to the caption.


A link interpreter is also much more flexible and would be able to identify, different types of links.
