* [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Avoid_using_meta-templates&diff=36124214 2006-01-21 20:28:08] — Here Brion VIBBER, lead developer of [[MediaWiki]], describes some of the problems with hiddenStructure.
*:''...it's using a CSS hack to hide structure elements, which can fail for text browsers, plaintext renderings of articles, and any HTML display of the article that doesn't use the stylesheet on this site. This harms both the primary site's accessibility and offsite reuse of material.'' –{{user|Brion VIBBER}}

*:''Therefore, I would strongly recommend that the css hacks not be used because there will be a sizable number of people using older screen readers, and they may not be able to upgrade.'' –{{user|Graham87}}
