Reference Previews are now available on the majority of Wikipedias, and some Wikivoyages. But currently, there are still around one hundred wikis, where most people are not seeing #reference_previews. That is because those wikis have [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/ReferencePreviews#Relation_to_gadgets | a gadget ]] set as the default for previewing references. Using the same feature across wikis will make the user experience more consistent and the software easier to maintain overall.
If your wiki has the #page-previews Popups extension installed (a prerequisite for #reference_previews) **and** also has a gadget set as the default for previewing references, we suggest removing that default flag. If your wiki wants to make this change, you can remove the default flag yourself or [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WMDE_Technical_Wishes/ReferencePreviews#Reference_Previews_to_become_the_default_for_previewing_references_on_more_wikis. | ask the Technical Wishes team to remove it for you ]].

==Removal of the default flag by the Technical Wishes team on smaller wikis ==
The Technical Wishes team will remove the default flag on some wikis. Criteria:
- Wikis with three or less interface-admins,
- which are also [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:WikiSets/7 | global-sysop wikis ]].
All affected wikis were contacted weeks before this change and were able to voice their concerns [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WMDE_Technical_Wishes/ReferencePreviews#Reference_Previews_to_become_the_default_for_previewing_references_on_more_wikis. | on this talk page ]] by February 12. [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WMDE_Technical_Wishes/ReferencePreviews#I_have_concerns_about_removing_the_default_flag_on_lawiki | One wiki did. ]]
