The stylesheet used in printing is commonPrint.css - changing that should do what you want.

On the way there, you should be able to specify '&printable=yes' in the URL to see that version instead.

For example, here's mediawiki.org's home page:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki

-or-

http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki

And here's the printable equivalent:

http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki&printable=yes

Hi, I have searched the archives and could not find a resolution to the following issue:

The printable page for all my articles where I format external links does not format as I would like it to.

For example, if I include the following wiki markup:

Click [ http://www.big.long.complicated.URL?on=the&net=with%20lots%20of&Post...]

it looks like this in my article:

Click HERE

but, when I try to print it... looks more like this:

Click HERE ( http://www.big.long.complicated.URL?on=the&net=with%20lots%20of&Post... )

My suspicion is..., that it was purposely decided to behave this way so that a hard-copy would not loose any embedded information (Simple "Click HERE" looses its meaning on a print out).

However, I am hoping that there is a way to control this behavior? please advise...

fyi, I am stuck with mediawiki v1.6.10. Thanks!
