Infoboxes and user style

Logged-in users can use user CSS to hide infoboxes in their own browsers.

To hide all infoboxes, add the following to Special:MyPage/common.css (for all skins, or Special:MyPage/skin.css for just the current skin), on a line by itself: <source lang="css">.infobox { display: none; }</source> Be aware that although, per WP:Manual of Style/Infoboxes, all information in an infobox should also be found in the main body of an article, there is not perfect compliance with this guideline. For example, full taxonomic hierarchy in {{Taxobox}}, and the OMIM and other medical database code(s) of {{Infobox disease}} are often not found in the main article content. The infobox is also often the location of the most significant, even only, image in an article.
