~~Wikipedia~~ articles should be accessible to readers using browsers and devices that have limited or no support for [[JavaScript]] or [[Cascading Style Sheets]]; remember that ~~[[Wikipedia:Reusing Wikipedia content|Wikipedia~~ content can be reused freely]] in ways we cannot predict as well as accessed directly via older browsers. At the same time, it is ~~recognised~~ that it is impossible to provide the same quality of appearance to such users without unnecessarily avoiding features that would benefit users with more capable browsers. As such, features that would cause content to be hidden or corrupted when CSS or JavaScript is unavailable must not be used. This includes techniques such as the <code>[[Wikipedia:HiddenStructure|hiddenStructure]]</code> method for hiding table content (which produces incomprehensible output without CSS) and some implementations of the <code>NavFrame</code> collapsing code (which can make content inaccessible without JavaScript support). However, consideration for users without CSS or JavaScript should extend mainly to making sure that their reading experience is {{em|possible}}; it is recognised that it will inevitably be {{em|inferior}}.

To accommodate these considerations, test any potentially disruptive changes with JavaScript or CSS disabled. In Firefox or Chrome, this can be done easily with the Web Developer extension; JavaScript can be disabled in IE in the "Options" screen. Be particularly careful with inline CSS effects, which are not supported by several browsers, media, and XHTML versions.
