Help:Printable

To view a print optimized version of a page one can provide "&printable=yes" in the URL, e.g.

http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Help:Template&printable=yes

Oddly, this does not work with Monobook and Myskin (hence it also does not work when not logged in). The other skins have a link to this URL. Printing an ordinary page should also automatically print this version, even though it is not on the screen. To see it on the screen, use the Print Preview feature of your browser. However, this is not quite the same: depending on your print settings, it may include page numbers, etc.
