How suter-partner/summary-box-for-wikipedia-links works
This is a small self-hosted browser script that turns eligible Wikipedia links into interactive article-summary previews. A visitor hovers or taps a link; the script obtains Wikipedia summary data, sanitizes and formats it, then displays and positions a preview. The README also documents configurable display behavior and link-specific overrides. The source excerpt is partial, so the graph omits uncertain wiring such as stylesheet loading details.
