--- Comment #1 from Bartosz Dziewoński <matma....@gmail.com> ---
Just printing pages already works. (In fact, the "printable version" functions
by applying the same stylesheets that are normally used for printable media for
screen media as well.)
As for the link in sidebar and the &printable=yes functionality, last time I
asked the reasoning was:
* It will be necessary to actually print pages if we ever explore something
like MobileFrontend's dynamic section loading on desktop, or dynamic loading
of images
* People are used to having a "printable version", even if it doesn't do
anything
* It provides support for ancient browsers that do not support CSS media
queries, including Firefox 5 and lower
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Printable for more information.
(Pity we don't have a page like this on mediawiki.org.)
Some vaguely related bugs: bug 56786, bug 39117, bug 48234. I'm copying people
who particulated in discussions there.
