Editing Help:Signature

The '''signature''' in a [[FreewarWiki:About FreewarWiki|Wiki]] is used to assign [[Help:Discussionpage|discussion]]posts to their authors.

== Generate ==

The Wiki software generates automatically such a signature out of a (freely definable) part of a name and a time stamp, when you write a certain character sequence at the end of your own post:

{| {{Prettytable}}
 ! align="center" | Source Code
 ! align="center" | Effect
 ! aling="center" | Description
 |-
 | <tt><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></tt>
 | [[User:Exampleuser|Exampleuser]]
 | Creates only the part of a name of the signature.
 |-
 | <tt><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></tt>
 | [[User:Exampleuser|Exampleuser]] 00:22 Jan. 4, 2010 (CEST)
 | Creates the whole signature.
 |-
 | <tt><nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki></tt>
 | 00:22 Jan. 4, 2010 (CEST)
 | Creats only the time stamp.
 |}

Usually you will put two divis in front of the character sequenz, so that everyone will know, that a signature follow: <tt><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></tt>

-As a convention you put two hyphens in front of the series of tildes (~) to indicate that a signature follows: <tt><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></tt>

-==Missing signature==
-Always sign your own posts in a discussion!
-In case you find a post without signature, see the [[Help:History|History]] of that discussion page to find out who was the author. Then use [[Template:Sig]] to supplement the signature. (For more informationon how to use this template see [[Template:Sig]])

-You can also use [[Template:SigT]] to add a time stamp, if it's important (e.g. for fair market value).
-==Customize signature==
-[[File:Signature.jpg|thumb|250px|How do I customize a signature?]]
-The wiki system usually includes the username linked to the userpage as label of the signature. This part however can be modified to suit your taste, e.g. you can add a link to your user talk page.
-In addition you can redefine your signature to display a completely different name or text via [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]], section "User profile", in the box ''"'Signature'"''. To do so, the check box "''read signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)"'' (framed red in picture) must be activated. Example: Applying he following source code in the preferences
-:<tt><nowiki>[[User:Exampleuser|Exampleuser]] [[User talk:Exampleuser|<sup>Talk</sup>]]</nowiki></tt>
-results in this signature:
---[[User:Exampleuser|Exampleuser]] [[User talk:Exampleuser|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 13:13, 8. Apr 2006 (CEST)
