==Printable Version in MonoBook Skin?==
Ok, so Monobook is cool and all, but is there a "Printable Version" tab somewhere, 'cause I can't see it for the life of me.  I had to switch to the Standard skin just to print something.  - [[User:DropDeadGorgias|DropDeadGorgias]] [[User_talk:DropDeadGorgias|(talk)]] 18:04, Jun 3, 2004 (UTC)

:Monobook uses the print-specific capabilities of css -- if you use your browser's print/print preview command, you should get something clean and beautiful.....   Still, I think it wouldn't hurt to have a "printable" link somewhere, even if all it did was actually send it to the printer, because people are leery of wasting ink printing things like our pretty new menus and background graphics.  Even better would be to allow people to tweak their own print.css via options, so that you can print it as large or small or whatever as you want.

::Seconded re "printable" link (though maybe call it "print" so as not to imply that the current version is not already "printable").  Most users will not know about the print-specific capabilities of CSS (I certainly hadn't until you mentioned them, despite considering myself moderately technical), or know that they are in use in this case.  Please could you raise this comment wherever is best for developers to see?  Thanks.  [[User:Trainspotter|<s><u>,,,</u></s>Trainspotter<s><u>,,,</u></s>]] 11:57, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
