Summary Cards (a.k.a SUC) is a simple extension for displaying distinct content summaries on hovered links.

The content of a Summary Card is created by a template is assigned to the namespace of the hovered link and requested via [Ajax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)).

The extension does not require [Semantic MediaWiki](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki) but it is highly recommended to use them together in order for summaries to generate individual content (e.g. property that contains short description, image property, known keywords, modification date etc.) while building a summary.
