On a serious note, though, I happen to use the Classic

templates, or just switch to one of the other skins that puts the
catlinks at the bottom. Wikipedia's display format is highly
configurable so I don't consider this to be a paprticularly strong
example of "harm".
It would be useful if there were preference switches for what one
wanted to see, i.e. "Don't show: [ ] article categories [ ] stub
messages ...", and so on, a la the kind of display configuration you
get on Slashdot and similar sites, that would set user CSS
appropriately. While technical users such as ourselves may be
comfortable with editing CSS files, many other users are not.
