Does anyone know what export options there are for MediaWiki? Ideally I would like to select an article and export to pdf, word, or plain text with the exported document containing proper formatting, including a header image, styles, etc... Does anyone know of any projects that are working on this feature or similar features?
Thanks, Andreas

try print in your browser and print to a file (don't know wether that works on windooze, but Firefox Linux does). with FreePDF you should create proper PDFs. There's a wiki2pdf http://wiki.auf-trag.de/ but it's quite useless if it comes to tables.
If you want to have more than one article in a document I strongly engourage you to use OpenOffice.org (1.1.1 and newer) which is almost perfect for copy'n'paste. I've done the 200-pages WikiReader Internet with OOo and the resulting PDF was good enough for professional print. (see weblink below)
To MS Word, I don't think the devs will ever include such an export, and plain text, just cut'n'paste to your simpliest editor ;-)

For Windows, you could use this: http://www.pdf995.com/ You will want the printer driver AND the convertor (and possibly the edit and signature software as well).

I am working on it. If you can code we could work together. See http://maatworks.wikinerds.org/index.php/WikiAnt

I can't edit in your UNwiki so, == Text-only printing == WikiAnt will allow the readers to print any page without its images : Use css for that. img { display:none } and
== History enhancements ==
WikiAnt could allow the users to choose whether they want to create a new revision in history or just replace the current article without recording the change in the history. Drupal (http://www.drupal.org) does have this feature.
: Don't allow that for viral licenses like FDL. And prepare for mad accuses of censorship...
MonoBook does not display any edit link at the bottom of an article, so we will allow to the site owner to choose whether the edit link should be displayed on at the top or both at the top and at the bottom. :True, but there's a howto for adding it via javascript. also there are keyboard shortcuts.
PS: Sorry for redistributing a few of your 'features'.

Thank you.

It's not a problem. If anybody is interested I can make that page CreativeCommons, as I do for my "programming notes" pages.
