That is a great find. I have struggled in printing out parts of the codex for reference, for learning, and the layout was as confusing as some of the terms. I am rushing off to register so I can print out those annoying features I just can’t get the hang of. Thanks.

Just so you know, MonoBook resembles Wikipedia so closely because it’s the default MediaWiki skin.

You know what, I think I’ll stick to that skin too even though I hardly print anything.

Just in case nobody knows, if you are currently registered at the WP Support Forums (wordpress.org/support) you’re already registered at the Codex. In other words, your Forum credentials will log you into the Codex.

Using the Monobook skip and I don’t see the Printer Version link…just see Upload File and Special Pages in the ‘toolbox’.

@Len — I registered on the Forum, but then had to manually create an account in Codex. Though registering in the Forum did allow me to use the Forum login at Trac.

So that’s where it is. I never bothered to change my skin so I never noticed. Thanks for the info.

If anyone submits a print stylesheet to trac for the Codex we’d happily put it in the default template.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is a HUGE help to me – there are so many Codex articles I’ve wanted to print but wound up doing all kinds of cut & paste to get the info I needed to fit nicely on fewer pages (I hate wasting paper). Thank you for posting this nugget!

@Michael,

1. Using the Monobook skin: after you login click Main Page in the left sidebar and Printable Version will now be visible under Toolbox.

2. You may right. I’ve been registered at both the Forum and Codex for ages and may have forgotten the actual procedure. I probably created a Codex account using my Forum credentials as opposed to having those credentials automatically log me in.

Having just installed MediaWiki I’m wondering about what skin to use as well. I have to admit I’m actually *not* a fan of the default wiki layout – any time I land on Wiki, it’s via google. If you’re thinking of using a skin that doesn’t look like Wiki, then have a look at the MediaWiki skin series – GuMAX – by Paul Gu.

GREAT! I have missed this for a long time, and did not know this possibility until now. Thank You very much indeed!
