Changes
make it clear this is an ideal; we're nowhere even vaguely close to it, and as use of Taxobox, etc., demonstrate, the idea – stated so broadly – may not even have consensus.
{{{heading|
==Infoboxes and user style ==
}}}
Users can have [[WP:User style|user CSS]] that hides<!--, moves, or makes collapsible--> any infoboxes in their own browsers.
To hide all infoboxes, add the following to [[Special:MyPage/common.css]] (for all [[WP:Skin|skins]], or [[Special:MyPage/skin.css]] for just the current skin), on a line by itself:
<source lang="css">.infobox { display: none; }</source>
Alternatively, you can add the following code to [[Special:MyPage/common.js|your common.js]] or into a browser user script that is executed by an extension like [[Greasemonkey]]:
<source lang="js">$('.infobox').hide();</source>
Be aware that although, per [[WP:Manual of Style/Infoboxes]], all information in an infobox ideally should also be found in the main body of an article, there isn't perfect compliance with this guideline. For example, the full taxonomic hierarchy in {{tl|Taxobox}}, and the OMIM and other medical database codes of {{tl|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.<!--
