Footnote Popups is a relatively simple Javascript which floats a small box with a footnote's content on top of a footnote link whenever a user hovers their cursor over it.
To install the script just add the following line to Special:MyPage/skin.js (applies to the currently selected skin) or Special:MyPage/common.js (applies to all skins)
importScript(" User:Blue-Haired Lawyer/footnote popups.js");
or if you want to use the script on a MediaWiki wiki other than the English Wikipedia:
importScriptURI(" http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Blue-Haired_Lawyer/footnote_popups.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");
Like other Javascripts, you'll have to purge your browser cache (Ctrl+F5 in most browsers) before the changes take effect.
Footnote Popups works with
Cite footnotes using <ref>...</ref>
tags; see
Help:footnotes.
Footnote Popups will also work with templates that create anchors with names beginning with
cite_note-listref-
See {{ Listref}} for an example.
I've tested the script in Firefox 2 and 3, Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and Safari 3. If it works / doesn't work for other browsers, please let me know. —

I've decided to stop support for Internet Explorer 6. I find it difficult to find a computer which still runs it, Microsoft have made it impossible to debug JavaScript errors on it and frankly, and perhaps most importantly, it's a bit shit. — Blue-Haired Lawyer 11:38, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
