Category:Exclude in print

A collection of templates to be suppressed when generating article snapshots. The pages listed in this category are templates. This page is part of TechInfoDepot's administration and not part of the encyclopedia. Further template category notes This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces. To add a template to this category: If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template's name/doc"), add  [[Category:Exclude in print]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add  <noinclude>[[Category:Exclude in print]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

The Exclude in print category is used from the book tool. The category Exclude in print is used to prevent certain templates (e.g. navigation templates) from being included in the output of the printed books or PDF & ODF documents. See Help:Books/for experts for more information.

Templates to exclude in offline exports

There are many templates with content which should be excluded in print versions. There are at least three major types:

are useless and distracting in offline exports as one can not contribute if offline. Examples: Maintenance, Cleanup ...

Warning & hinting messages

are useless and distracting in offline exports as users presumably considered them when selecting the article for export and elected to export it anyway. Examples: Sources of articles, Disputes, Deletion, General ...

Navigational content

Navigation links are useless and distracting in exports. Examples: Compact TOC, Wikimedia sister projects ...
