Help:Popups

Popups is an extension that displays a preview of a page when hovering over a link to it. By default, this only works when hovering over mainspace pages, and the popup uses that page's lead section and its page image for the preview.

Options
This feature can be enabled or disabled via the Appearance tab in User preferences. The relevant section is labelled "Reading preferences".
