I feel like this conversation is futile and that it is only being
perpetuated for the point of an argument.

Yeah, but when one doesn't know or expect that
(and is, perhaps, in a
situation where they don't care to spare paper in testing, such as
a public computer lab with pay printouts) they won't *try* to print from
the mediawiki site. They'll spend extra time copying articles to notepad
or a wordprocessor to print from there, or, if they've been around longer,
will do what I did before I knew the site was printable and switch back
to classic skin so they can have printable links back.
The fact is that other than a few specific instantces (where the
person probably has a vague idea what he/she is doing anyway), when a
page is printed only the article content is needed.
[Yes, there is "print preview". But that
also is unexpected behavior.]
This is browser dependent no wiki has control over this. A good
browser, however, should render using the print.css style sheet.
