 * Not completely sure but I think this is used when the Printable version of a page is displayed/printed, which seems to be a different method that what is used for Download to PDF (Extension:Collection) --Peculiar Investor 16:44, 1 November 2013 (CDT)

I concur, as the extension accesses the site using the API - which does not have a 'printable' parameter. The .css script is for defined classes. --LadyGeek 17:37, 1 November 2013 (CDT)
 * The use of API is confirmed. See: Category:Exclude in print --LadyGeek 21:43, 1 November 2013 (CDT)

The printable version expands (makes visible) the underlying link URL, which does not look appropriate when viewed within another web page. At first, I modified the formatting to remove this extra text and to underline to the link. (Ref: How do I disable external links from showing in the printable version of a page?)

However, this will break functionality for those who wish to print wiki pages on paper - the links will not be visible. I reverted the change and will look for another way to embed an HTML wiki page, such as the MediaWiki API. --LadyGeek 13:47, 20 November 2016 (EST)


 * You can export the HTML content of a page by appending  to the URL, [ like this]. Navigation templates, which are part of the page, will be included. Ref: Publishing from MediaWiki --LadyGeek 14:33, 20 November 2016 (EST)
