I've been quiey about this discussion because I see Dan's point, on the other hand I think there should to be a better solution than hiding content in this way. I like Aude's idea of experimenting with a user preference for a collapsable div.

It would be one thing if you were simply moving this content, such as into a collapsable or non-collapsable div. If it was that, maybe it could be non-collapsed by default, with a remembered preference, based on whether the user collapses it.
Stripping it removes important information. Just clicking Special:Random, I come across some example:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6610_Burwitz - there is no infobox, the
information is not duplicated and is important.
to know the alternative names here, no infobox
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinando_Orlandi - no infobox, but
important information in brackets
information to me, not really suited for the infobox
those are just some examples, and think it's bad idea to strip such information, imho.
I think it would be good to bring up the problem and ideas with the community. Maybe someone has a better idea.
Cheers Katie
