MediaWiki/PrintsURL

I have a MediaWiki instance with a lot of templates. Sometimes I create pages which use templates and create many external links, giving me a clickable checklist.

However, when I print such a list, the MediaWiki software prints the URL of every single external link, cluttering the hardcopy with useless text: I'm not interested in "link-text (https://my.stunning.site/the/very/lengthy/url)" but only in "link-text".

Is there some magic word or even configuration setting to help me to get a "clean" hardcopy? Thank you!

(MediaWiki 1.25.2, pretty basic)

It's set up in the print stylesheet. You can add something like

.mediawiki .mw-body a.external.text:after,
.mediawiki .mw-body a.external.autonumber:after {
    content: none;
}

in your own stylesheet to override it.

Sorry I missed your answer for such a long time; this looks promising. I just couldn't make it work yet ... With monobook being chosen, the stylesheet should be .../wiki/User:Myname/monobook.css, right? – Tobias Commented Jul 18, 2022 at 15:38
If you only want to change it for your own user (and per-user stylesheets are enabled) then yes. – Tgr Commented Jul 18, 2022 at 15:43
Ok; seems the $wgAllowUserCss setting is missing in the LocalSettings.php. I'll need to wait for my colleague to return for this, because I don't have administration access to the server... – Tobias Commented Jul 18, 2022 at 16:01
