We got the feedback that when hovering over a footnote (for example [1.1]) only the page number is shown on the tooltip; the initial source is missing. This makes is complicated for the user to understand to which initial reference the cite extension is referring to.
Feedback was given on: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Book_referencing/Call_for_feedback_(May_2018)
Is this comment based on the beta feature for hover tooltips, the now-common gadget for the same, or some other hover?
If the former, something to be fixed by WMDE I think. The second probably is a community fix though I'm sure you can help troubleshoot or suggest implementation. I'm not aware of a hover in the third case.
At the moment, this ticket is only about the Reference Previews feature developed by WMDE. We plan to create a separate ticket for the gadget when it becomes more relevant, and we are able to suggest a fix for the community to apply on the gadget.
@Izno We got this feedback from the wiki community after releasing the cite extension feature on the beta cluster. That is why tagged it with the 'Book-Referencing' tag in the first place.
