What does it mean?

Basically from what I can tell with my rather limited knowledge of CSS, the image is enclosed in a span called mi. Adding the code to your monobook.CSSwill hide anything enclosed in a span with that name; thus it will hide the image and anything in any article contained in a span with that name. (I haven't seen that kind of code used particularly often in standard articles, so I find it rather doubtful that a conflict would ever occur. But it is possible.)

Unfortunately, whoever did this seems to have a weak grasp of CSS and has therefore made this hack much less useful than it could be. Since they used id="mi" (#mi) instead of class="mi" (.mi) you can only apply this to one image per article.
