Bug #: 30155
Summary: Feature Request: Toolbox -> Print/export -> Printable
version
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Wikipedia's "Toolbox -> Print/export -> Printable version" works extremely
well. However, no distinction appears to be given been the template used for
the composition of a page returned via browser request, and employed after the
user has requested return of a 'Printable version' of page content; only. This
'issue' involves inclusion of the 'Content' section in the 'Printable version'
of pages that get returned.
As the 'Content' section provides page navigation in the browser returned
pages, the utility of the section is self evident. However, inclusion of the
'Content' section in the 'Printable version's is redundant; the URIs in it can
NOT be used to interactively navigate a printed document. Moreover, larger
documents tend to include larger number of sections, thus the size of the
'Content' section increases, consequently. Placement of the 'Content' section
in the 'Printable version's inserts large gaps in the documents that are to be
printed on printers, and ends up wasting large amounts of printed document page
space.
Inclusion of redundant content in the 'Printable version' 'Content' section
should either be done away with, or an option for inclusion should exist for
the user to control whether the 'Content' section gets included into the pages
that Wikipedia returns after selecting Wikipedia's "Toolbox -> Print/export ->
Printable version".
