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>
