===Blank pages in Internet Explorer===

{{shortcut|WP:IEPRINTFIX}}

<section begin=ieprintfix />

When printing with Internet Explorer 7, some pages may be blank except for the header and footer; this can be seen in the browser print preview. The style sheets have rules to adjust the line height for improved readability with superscript and subscript text, including references. IEIE7 apparently has problems with the <code>line-height</code> CSS property. This issue appears to be resolved in Internet Explorer 8 and above.

Rules to resolve this problem were added to Common.js. If the problem is still experienced, browse to [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] and follow the instructions at the top of the page to bypass your browser cache.

{{hidden

| content =

This is the old way to resolve this issue, now deprecated by the change to MediaWiki:Common.js.

* Edit your [[Special:MyPage/skin.css]] and add:
