This is for the printable mode, and was missing from early versions of
the MonoBook skin. It was added back in a late beta version; the style
sheet should hide it from regular display, and show it only when
printing.

Sounds like she has the old style sheets stuck in the browser cache:
the wiki expects the text to be hidden, but the old style sheet still
says to show it. You can usually force the browser to _really_ reload
by holding down either the shift or control keys (depending on which
browser) while hitting the reload button. Worst case, clearing the
browser's cache should do it.
