I would like to remove page numbering on a specific page. However, the header and footer should remain intact. If I try:
\thispagestyle{empty}
The header and footer disappear. What is the recommended way of removing just the page number?

With fancyhdr this quite easy. I've put the page number into the centered footer here. If it should appear left or right use \lfoot or \rfoot then.
\documentclass[12pt, a4paper,twoside]{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancypagestyle{headings}{%
\cfoot{\thepage}
}
\pagestyle{headings}
\begin{document}
\section{Introduction}
Hello
\end{document}
You can always define your own pagestyles. See this MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancypagestyle{emptyhead}{ % Define a new pagestyle
\fancyhf{} % Clear header/footer
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage} % Set pagenumber in footer
\fancyfoot[R]{(No header on this page)}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{.4pt}
}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{ % Redefine style "plain"
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[C]{Header for plain-style pages}
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{.4pt}
}
\pagestyle{fancy} % Define fancy pagestyle for common pages
\lhead{Author's name} % Set left header
\chead{} % Clear center header
\rhead{Document title} % Set right header
\lfoot{} % Clear left/center footer
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{\thepage} % Put pagenumber in right footer
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{.4pt}
\begin{document}
\section{Hocus}\thispagestyle{plain}
\lipsum[1-10]
\clearpage
\section{Pocus}\thispagestyle{emptyhead}
\lipsum[11-20]
\clearpage
\section{Bogus}\thispagestyle{empty}
\lipsum[21-30]
\end{document}
The first page of section 1 uses \thispagestyle{plain}, with a special header in the center and the page number in the right footer. The first page of section 2 is set with \thispagestyle{emptyhead}, with no header and the page number in the center of the footer (which is what \pagestyle{plain} would usually look like. The first page of section 3 has neither header nor footer (\thispagestyle{empty}). All other pages use the normal \pagestyle{fancy}.
Is that what you wanted to do?

The standard page style doesn't allow disappearing only the footer. However I can imagine two possibilities.
\thispagestyle.\cfoot) inside the document body. If you want to suppress the footer on a page your can do\cfoot{}. Be aware that you have to activate the footer on the next page with\cfoot{\thepage}. You can simplify the process by definition two new commands:\def\nofoot{\cfoot{}}and\def\withfoot{\cfoot{\thepage}}.
