Option Values* Description
[edit]
popupDelay decimal number, 0.5 The number of seconds before popups appear.
popupHideDelay decimal number, 0.5 The approximate number of seconds between the mouse leaving a popup and its disappearance.
simplePopups true, false If you just want the links or find the amount of bandwidth consumed too great, then set this to true. No data will be downloaded and the popups will just consist of a list of links.
popupStructure 'original', 'fancy', 'fancy2', 'menus', 'shortmenus', 'lite', 'nostalgia' Select the structure of the popups - view examples here. The 'original' setting, which is the default if simplePopups is true (or if your browser is known not to support menus), has all the navigation links in the popup itself; 'nostalgia', 'fancy' and fancy2 are variants of this. The 'menus' setting, which is the default if simplePopups is not true, puts the navigation links in popup menus which appear when you mouseover the links beside the popup title. 'shortmenus' is a less cluttered version of 'menus' with fewer links. Finally, 'lite' is a very simple structure, with just the preview and no navigation links at all.

Note that to set this variable, you need to include the single quotes, e.g. popupStructure='fancy';.

popupActionsMenu true, false When using menus, you can either have the title link in the popup generating a menu (if this is set to false) or a separate "actions" menu (if this is set to true, the default).
popupImages true, false If this is false then images are never displayed.
popupSubpopups true, false If this is true then popups are generated for links in previews.
popupOnEditSelection true, false If this is true then popups are generated for selected wikilinks when editing.
popupAdminLinks true, false If this variable is set to true then links which administrators can use to block people, delete pages and protect or unprotect pages will appear in the popups.
popupShortcutKeys true, false If this variable is set to true then you can focus some of the links in the popups quickly by pressing keys. When you hover the mouse over a link with a shortcut, the shortcut key appears at the end of the popup hint. For example, in Firefox or Opera, to quickly edit an article in a new tab you can type 'e Control-Enter'. Pressing escape should hide the popup, too.
popupFixRedirs true, false If this variable is set to true then you can automatically "fix" links to redirect pages by clicking on the "Redirects" link. Note: you probably don't want to "fix" such links every time you come across them, and you definitely don't want to go on a hunt for them to "fix" them. See /About fixing redirects.
popupWatchRedirredPages true, false, null If this variable is set to true then fixed redirect pages will always be watched; if it's false, then they'll always be unwatched. If it's null, then the page will be watched or unwatched according to the settings in your user preferences.
popupRedirAutoClick 'wpSave', 'wpPreview', 'wpDiff' The button which is automatically pressed when fixing redirects.
popupRedlinkRemoval true, false If this variable is set to true then you can automatically remove links to non-existent pages (so-called "red links") by selecting "Remove this link".
popupFixDabs true, false If this variable is set to true then you can automatically "fix" links to disambiguation pages by clicking one of the links at the very bottom of the popup.
popupAllDabsStubs true, false If this variable is set to false then only pages that look like stubs or disambiguation pages in the article namespace are treated specially. (Setting this to true can lead to lots of false positives).
popupWatchDisambiggedPages true, false, null If this variable is set to true then fixed dab pages will always be watched; if it's false, then they'll always be unwatched. If it's null, then the page will be watched or unwatched according to the settings in your user preferences.
popupNavLinks true, false If this is true then navigation links are displayed. If false, then these are switched off.
popupLastEditLink true, false Whether the popup should contain a "lastEdit" link.
popupHistoricalLinks true, false When hovering over links to old revisions and diff links, extra links such as "editOld" are generated if this is true. Otherwise, you get the same links as when hovering over an ordinary link.
popupPreviews true, false If this is true and you haven't set simplePopups, then a preview of the first part of the article will appear. (Reports of pages for which this is done badly are most welcome). If false, then this is switched off.
popupSummaryData true, false If this is true summary data for the target page is displayed. If false, then this is switched off.
popupLastModified true, false If true then the age of the page is displayed in the summary data. This is the amount of time that has elapsed since the article was edited.
popupDiffDates true, false If true, the dates of the revisions being compared are shown when previewing diffs.
popupImageLinks true, false If true, pages linking to an image should appear in the preview. This currently does not work for commons images.
popupOnlyArticleLinks true, false If true, then popups are only generated for links in the article. Otherwise, many other links (such as Edit, Help) get popups too.
imagePopupsForImages true, false By default, preview images are loaded even when hovering over visible images. Setting this to false turns that off.
popupMaxWidth 350, an integer or false The maximum width of the popup in pixels. Setting this to false means the popup will expand to accommodate its contents.
popupInitialWidth an integer or false The initial width of the popup in pixels. Setting this to false means the popup will initially be the size needed to accommodate its initial contents.
popupEditCounterTool "kate", "interiot", "custom" The edit counter tool to use, chosen from Kate's tool, Interiot's tool or a custom url defined by popupEditCounterUrl.
popupEditCounterUrl "" The url for a custom edit counter. You can use replaceable parameters in this url: $1 will be replaced with the username, and $2 with the database name (for example, enwiki_p).
popupDragHandle false, 'popupTopLinks', ... The name of an element by which the popup can be dragged without holding the shift key. If false, then the popup can be dragged using the shift key instead.
popupAdjustDates true, false If true, then dates in history, diff and user contributions previews are adjusted according to the settings in your user preferences.
popupThumbAction "imagepage", "sizetoggle", "linkfull" This controls what happens when you click the image in a preview. "imagepage" takes you to the image page (and will generate a subpopup when you hover over the image), unless the popup is generated for the image page; "sizetoggle" means the image size is toggled on click, and "linkfull" means that the image links directly to the full size version.
