Page Previews solves the core problem of users opening multiple tabs to gain an understanding of a word in the context of the subject they are reading. Whenever a reader hovers over a link to another article, a short summary of the subject, including its graphical image, is provided to them so they can decide whether they need to visit that subject more fully before continuing the current subject.
Please give us feedback on your experience using this feature so we can change and improve it. Each language is welcome in this discussion!

Unexpected preview image?
I encountered a weird preview image today that I cannot explain (at least without digging more into it).
On the English Wikipedia, making a link to en:Prithvi shows File:Necrotizing fasciitis left leg debridement.JPEG (warning: not a nice image to look at) in the page preview popup. See en:User:Nclm/sandbox or the infobox on en:Earth.
As far as I can see, the image is not inserted on the destination page or on its Wikidata item.
Any idea what’s triggering this image to appear here (and how to prevent it)? Thanks! Nclm (talk) 09:51, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- There was vandalism in a local template, but it was reverted (I won't link it for w:WP:BEANS reasons!). Sometimes the cache takes a little while to catch up. The image has also been added to the Bad image list. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 19:55, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
