Help:Signature

From the Super Mario Wiki

Also see MarioWiki:Signature.

Here's how to create a signature:

[edit] Base Creation

1. Create a page for your signature here.

2. Edit the page and insert this text:

[[User:Username|Username]]

, replacing "Username" with your username. Like That

[[User:Username|Yourusername]]

[edit] Customization

If you want your name to be colored or have a different font, insert this text instead of the text in number two:

[[User:Username|<span style="font-family:font; color:#hexcode;">
Username</span>]]

If you want to link to your talk page and your contributions page, insert this text after the text in numbers two or three:

([[User talk:Username|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Username|edits]])

Once you have the signature created the way you want it, save the edit. Then go to your preferences page. Be sure to follow all rules outlined in MarioWiki:Signature.

[edit] Preparing for Usage

Once you are at your preferences page, change the text in the "Signature" box to this:

{{SUBST:nosubst|User:Username/sig}}

See {{nosubst}} for more information.

Make sure the "" option is checked, then save your preferences and empty your cache.

[edit] Usage

Now that your signature is set up, know how to work it:

Code	Turns into	Appears as	Mainly used for
~~~	{{User:User/sig}}	User (Talk)	welcoming
~~~~	{{User:User/sig}} 00:00, 1 January 2000 (UTC)	User (Talk) 00:00, 1 January 2000 (UTC)	talk pages
~~~~~	00:00, 1 January 2000 (UTC)	00:00, 1 January 2000 (UTC)	welcoming, recording of date and time

[edit] Pages Where You Don't Use Signatures

Certain pages do not allow these signature codes to be used on them, a majority of them being MarioWiki namespace pages. You can tell when not to use signatures when the page mentions that it follows the "No-Signature Policy". For more information about the policy, check this page.
