I recently discovered that if you're logged into Wikipedia, you can customize the UI completely.

You can, of course, choose different themes.

But you can also upload custom CSS and Javascript!

Yeah I’m not actually sure why more people don’t know this.


Some Wikipedia pages use CSS classes to allow people to self-censor what they see - for example, this is the remedy provided to people who do not want to see images of Muhammad.

Because most people don't have a Wikipedia account, nor would they benefit from having one these days.


Thank you for pointing this out! I had no idea!
