Page Previews improvements

Heya @SUM1, I really appreciate you taking the time to report the issues like you have been doing over the last few months on Page Previews. The HTML-based extracts are now in production. I took a look at your reports and examples and things seem to be improved. To summarize here's what I'm seeing now.

  • Post-nominal letters are not properly removed in link previews - In the George Harrison example it's fixed, but not the David Gilmour. The only difference is that one article contains the comma in wikitext, the other does not. I think, like hatnotes that are not a template, this is something Page Previews is going to goof on due to the inconsistency on how post-nominals are added to articles.

I wanted to follow up with you and more importantly to say thanks for your help and patience. The team is working through some known issues and I'm happy to hear from you if you find more in your adventures.

You're very welcome. I noticed the new update rollout and it's looking very nice. I will definitely come forward if I see any more issues in the future.
