==Printable version==

The default Vector skin has a selection in the left sidebar for ''Print/export''— selecting this will show ''printablePrintable version''. All other skins show ''printable version'' directly in the sidebar. This printable version is often misunderstood, as it is not exactly a print preview. It does not show page numbers, headers and footers applied by your browser. For a proper print preview, use the one supplied by your browser.

Scripts such as [[User:TheDJ/Sharebox|Sharebox]] may change the ___location or function of the print link.

Printable version is not needed for any modern browser, as these browsers will parse the <code>media="print"</code> CSS styles included in the markup of Wikipedia pages. The print rules are applied automatically when the page is printed or previewed from the browser.
