**What happens?**: The template `{{USS|Will Rogers|SSBN-659}}` creates this wiki-markup:
- `[[USS Will Rogers (SSBN-659)|USS ''Will Rogers'' <span class="nowrap">(SSBN-659)</span>]]`
Media wiki translates that to this html markup:
- `<a href="/wiki/USS_Will_Rogers_(SSBN-659)" title="USS Will Rogers (SSBN-659)">USS <i>Will Rogers</i> <span class="nowrap">(SSBN-659)</span></a>`
At en.wiki using desktop display, hovering the mouse pointer over 'USS' in the rendered link produces a page preview. Hovering the mouse pointer over 'Will Rogers' produces a simple tooltip. Hovering the mouse pointer over '(SSBN-659)' produces a simple tooltip. Hovering the mouse pointer over the whitespace between 'Will Rogers' and '(SSBN-659)' produces a page preview.
**What should have happened instead?**: Page previews should provide a page-preview tooltip regardless of where on the rendered wikilink the mouse pointer hovers
**Other information** (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.): For me, win 10 chrome current version; reported to be the same for win 10 firefox.

# QA steps
In beta cluster, hovering over the italized portion of the link should trigger a preview:

In production hover over the italic portion of this link:

Exploratory testing is important as part of this task. Are there any links not generating a preview that should be?
