The Navigation-Popups gadget (user script) offers easy access to article previews and several Wikipedia functions in popup windows which appear when you hover the cursor over links. This gadget is developed and maintained by volunteers.
It is something different from Page-Previews, which is a MediaWiki extension maintained by WMF.
@Aklapper The fact that it would load quite a lot faster, but mostly because it would make for a much smaller tooltip.
Helpful for those who do not want to have too much of the lead section of the article in the popup
I didn't have the Navigation Popups gadget enabled and I still got the error.
I'm no longer getting the stream of errors I was earlier after enabling the Navigation Popups gadget, so it (crosses fingers) seems to be fixed for me :)
"IANAnd" lol :)
(IANAnd but) It stopped for me around that time
Errors seem to be trailing off now: https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/000000566/overview?orgId=1&tab=alert&viewPanel=16&from=now-30d&to=now
@Nardog can you confirm if this is also fixed for you?

The different error messages ("'' is not a valid selector" vs "The provided selector is empty") is probably a difference between browsers. These look like the same error.
Possibly the same as T356193 (but now at a considerably higher UBN rate)?
Can reproduce by disabling Page Previews and enabling the Navigation Popups gadget.
Page previews does not use Extension:TextExtracts so untagging.
0K, I put a link to this bug report on that workaround wiki page.
This has been mentioned at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Tools/Navigation_popups#Revisit_a_popup, and the workaround is to use the "popups / reset" function to restore the initial behaviour.
Indeed it turns out I do have that checked.
Change 961098 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/extensions/Popups@master] Disable reference previews when the navigation popups gadget is used
The Popups code already knows if the gadget is enabled and automatically disables Page-Previews then. I think we can simply use the existing flag and disable Reference Previews as well:
- if ( config.get( 'wgPopupsConflictsWithRefTooltipsGadget' ) || + if ( config.get( 'wgPopupsConflictsWithRefTooltipsGadget' ) || + config.get( 'wgPopupsConflictsWithNavPopupGadget' ) ||
That should be it.
