Diseased Anus Picture Can Appear In Other Articles

On the page for Mesalazine, in the first paragraph is a link to this article (as "inflamed anus or rectum").

The default (when I am logged out, etc.) Wikipedia now seems to have some feature where a preview of the article is shown when mousing over a link to said article.

So when viewing the article about mesalazine, having come to rest the mouse cursor arbitrarily on the link to this (proctitis) article, I was presented with a rather... disruptive picture of a diseased anus.

My recommendation is... let's maybe not do that? Let's definitely not do that?

I already know how to disable it for myself, but I would guess the vast majority of users are casual (not logged in). Mike Richardson (talk) 04:30, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
