AO3: Glossary Definition Previews

click a glossary term in the AO3 FAQ to get its definition in a dialog without leaving the FAQ page

These are versions of this script where the code was updated. Show all versions.

  • v2.0 04.02.2024.

    so many new features!
    works now in YOUR language! if your selected language doesn't have a translated Glossary, it'll give you the English definitions.
    uses jQuery UI dialogs, which means you can now interact with the text in the dialog.
    adds a little 🛈 info icon to the links that lead to the Glossary.
    works on both the regular FAQ pages and on the Glossary page itself (which cross-links a lot).
    highlights the selected term so you know what the definition relates to and you don't lose your place in the page.
    dark theme support! if your background is dark-ish, it switches to jQuery's black theme.
    and of course, this is the promised compatibility update: works again in any browser and with any userscript manager.
