A signature in a wiki attributes contributions in a discussion (also known as talk page) to their respective authors.
Generate[edit]
The Wiki software automatically generates a signature consisting of a (freely definable) part of a name and a time stamp, when you finish your own post with a specific character sequence:
| Source Code | Effect | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ~~~ | Exampleuser | Signs with your name (this part can be modified in your settings). |
| ~~~~ | Exampleuser 00:22 Jan. 4, 2010 (CEST) | Creates a complete signature. |
| ~~~~~ | 00:22 Jan. 4, 2010 (CEST) | Creates only a time stamp. |
As a convention you put two hyphens in front of the series of tildes (~) to indicate that a signature follows: --~~~~
Missing signature[edit]
Always sign your own posts in a discussion!
In case you find a post without signature, see the 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[edit]
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 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
- [[User:Exampleuser|Exampleuser]] [[User talk:Exampleuser|<sup>Talk</sup>]]
results in this signature:
--Exampleuser Talk 13:13, 8. Apr 2006 (CEST)
