How to install Navigation Popups

Navigation popups is a script, written in JavaScript (source), that offers easy access to article previews and several Wikipedia functions in popup windows which appear when you hover the cursor over links.

Quick installation: Enter Special:Preferences and click "Gadgets", check the box to enable Navigation Popups, under the "Browsing" section, then click save. Follow the instructions on the page to bypass your browser's cache.
Other installation method: add {{subst:navpop}} to your current skin's .js page.
