Superlinks is a Wikipedia user script designed to allow powerusers to quickly view pages and information related to the page they are currently viewing or editing without the need to navigate away from the page or open large numbers of new tabs.
The script consists of a collection of links at the top right corner of the page, and a popup window that opens over part of the current page when one of the links is clicked. The popup window loads its content on demand via Ajax without affecting the current page, and can be closed by clicking on the close button, clicking again on the link that opened the popup, or by pressing escape.
All content is loaded asynchronously on demand – having the script installed does not affect page load times.
