Fine with me if you want to make empty sections (Bug #23026). Go right ahead. But please please please do it a cleaner way, making sure that they don't still inadvertently show up visible in text browsers!! $ w3m -dump http://abj.jidanni.org/index.php?title=Special:Specialpages | grep -C 7 Views Namespaces • Special page Variants Views Actions Search [ ] [Go] [Search] $ GET http://abj.jidanni.org/index.php?title=Special:Specialpages | grep -A 1 empty <div id="p-variants" class="vectorMenu emptyPortlet"> <h5><span>Variants</span><a href="#"></a></h5> -- <div id="p-views" class="vectorTabs emptyPortlet"> <h5>Views</h5> -- <div id="p-cactions" class="vectorMenu emptyPortlet"> <h5><span>Actions</span><a href="#"></a></h5> If you can't do it a cleaner way, then don't do it in the first place. We never had such a problem with other skins. If it is not to be shown to the general public, then don't show it to text browsers users either, please.
Use Alt V Y N (View -> Page Style -> No style) to see the bug in Firefox.
empty lists are not valid per XHTML. <URL: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki > Line 214, Column 10: end tag for "ul" which is not finished (at least one list item must be present)

This restriction in XHTML is stupid, and was removed in HTML5. See bug 24500 comment 7 for the full argument for keeping these empty lists.
