When will wikia be getting popups for references like wikipedia has?

 * Hey, your best bet would be contacting Staff to see whether it's on the roadmap or available on request. TK-999 (talk) 17:18, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll tell you what they said in August: They said it was a great idea that they would pass along to their product team for further research. So please let me know if they tell you anything more specific than that.
 * The reason they said that is because it's not actually a mediawiki extension, so it's not just a simple matter of pressing a button to enable it here - they'd have to do it manually and do a bunch of testing to make sure it works properly, and that would take a couple of hours of their time which is better spent fixing bugs.
 * The good news is, since Reference Tooltips started as a user script, you can copy the original script and modify it to be used here. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Yair_rand/ReferenceTooltips -452 17:26, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
