           Summary: zh.wikipedia.org unusable for text browser user due to
                    massive vocabulary lists
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/rose...@home
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: accessibility, i18n
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Language setup
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: jida...@jidanni.org


I notice articles on zh.wikipedia.org are now twice their size (in lines,
in one's browser's View Source), due to many lines of
<li><b><span class="lanLabel">
(for showing the differences between zh vocabulary items.)

This is all well and good, as they are tucked neatly in a
<div class="NavFrame collapsed noprint nohandheld"...

However, for text browser users, (simulate with Firefox: View>Page
Style>No style) zh.wikipedia.org has now become barely usable, as those
hundreds of lines of vocabulary items get rendered, right at the top of
an article too.

As one reads in
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:中文维基百科的繁简处理
there are preferences to control aspects of variant conversion.

However there is no preference to turn off sending the vocabulary list to
the user's browser.  There should be. So one could:
* stop doubling of article size, even if one is not a text browser user.
* On text browsers, be able to read zh.wikipedia.org again, without needing
to scroll down many screens to get past the vocabulary list, to finally
arrive were the original article text now is.

P.S., on e.g., http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/rose...@home
 each line of
><li id="_note-64"><b><a href="#_ref-64">^</a></b> <span style="font-family: 
>sans-serif;
wastefully repeats the style details too, not using a style definition.
