Wikipedia: show link target in tooltip
Sets each link's tooltip to the readable name of the target article so you know where it leads.
Code to copy
// Show the decoded target article in each link's tooltip
function annotateLinks() {
const links = document.querySelectorAll('.mw-parser-output a[href^="/wiki/"]');
links.forEach(function (a) {
if (a.dataset.jzTip) { return; }
a.dataset.jzTip = '1';
try {
const name = decodeURIComponent(a.getAttribute('href').slice(6))
.replace(/_/g, ' ');
a.title = '→ ' + name;
} catch (e) { /* skip malformed links */ }
});
}
annotateLinks();
new MutationObserver(annotateLinks).observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });How to use this example
- Copy the code with the button above.
- Install JustZix (2 minutes) and open the extension on the target page.
- Add a new rule matching that page.
- Paste the code into the rule's JavaScript panel and save — it runs on every page visit.
