Hovercards: Show cards for Talk page
Closed, DeclinedPublicFeature

Description

Hovercards shows little of interest for LiquidThreads and nothing for Flow talk pages.

It would be nice if the Popup showed

  • some indication of activity such as a count of topics
  • a text extract of the header of a Flow board if it's "interesting".
  • the date of most recent activity (which is not the same as the page revision's timestamp).

Note the MobileFrontend alpha shows a count of open topics within its icon for a conventional wiki talk page; it does this by retrieving the 'page_top_level_section_count' page property. This was discussed on the design mailing list starting with http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/design/2014-May/001825.html.

The implementation of this might end up in Flow and Extension:TextExtracts and maybe ContentHandler; I'm filing it here because it's where people notice the feature.

Hovercards is a side project for most of the people working on it (myself included), so this definitely isn't on the cards (hahaha, I'm so punny) for the immediate future.

Proposer is long gone; Flow and LiquidThreads are on the way out. If someone is still interested I would recommend filing a ticket against DiscussionTools for a similar feature.
