{{template category|description=A collection of templates to be suppressed when generating article snapshots.}}

The '''Exclude in print''' category is used from the [[Help:Books|book tool]]. The category '''Exclude in print''' used to be 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. This feature is [[bugzilla:48052|currently broken]].

== 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:
;Maintenance messages
:are useless and distracting in offline exports as one can not contribute if offline. Examples: [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Maintenance|Maintenance]], [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup|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: [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles|Sources of articles]], [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Disputes|Disputes]], [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Deletion|Deletion]], [[w:Wikipedia:Template messages/General|General]] ...
;Navigational content
:Navigation links are useless and distracting in exports. Examples: [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Compact tables of contents|Compact TOC]], [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects|Wikimedia sister projects]] ...
