I'm sorry, but you ''really'' have to stop posting "how do I do X"-type questions on [[Talk:Main Page]]. As I already told you there twice before now, that is ''not'' what the page is for. So far, your questions are all things you honestly should have figured out on, either by looking at image pages, the sidebar or by visiting help pages. [[MarioWiki:Rules]] lists all the help and policy pages: next time you have a question, look for the page that's about the subject and read the page before you go asking someone to explain it to you. If you can't find an answer you need on any policy or help page, try looking [[MarioWiki:FAQ|here]], or as a ''last resort'', ask someone directly or post your question [[MarioWiki talk:FAQ|on ''that'' page's talk page]] - ''NOT'' the Main Page's talk page. If you keep posting editing help questions there, I'll have to give you a formal Reminder next time. Also, please read [[Help:Signature]], as currently you're signing pages with raw coding and that's not allowed either. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 19:11, 1 March 2015 (EST) | I'm sorry, but you ''really'' have to stop posting "how do I do X"-type questions on [[Talk:Main Page]].

:If you edit the sections, you can see that when I sign, <code><nowiki>{{User:Walkazo/sig}}</nowiki></code> is pasted, but when you sign, the raw coding of your signature is pasted (<code><nowiki>[[File:Mario MK7.png|70px]] [[User:Mario Kart 7 Rules]] ([[User Talk:Mario Kart 7 Rules|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Mario Kart 7 Rules|edits]]) [[File:Luigi MK7.png|70px]]</nowiki></code>). This is because you don't have your preferences set up correctly: as explained on [[Help:Signature]], you need to put <code><nowiki>{{subst:nosubst|User:Mario Kart 7 Rules/sig}}</nowiki></code> in the preferences field, rather than just <code><nowiki>User:Mario Kart 7 Rules/sig</nowiki></code> (or whatever it is you've done), in order for the signature to be placed on pages when you sign with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>, rather than the raw coding on the sig page getting substituted. Having raw coding everywhere is clunky and distracting, and it won't be updated if you change your sig, so it's better for everyone if the sig itself gets pasted when you sign, hence the policy. And while we're on the subject, your signature itself needs to be shortened: it needs to be able to fit in the blue box on [[MarioWiki: | :If you edit the sections, you can see that when I sign, <code><nowiki>{{User:Walkazo/sig}}</nowiki></code> is pasted, but when you sign, the raw coding of your signature is pasted (<code><nowiki>[[File:Mario MK7.png|70px]] [[User:Mario Kart 7 Rules]] ([[User Talk:Mario Kart 7 Rules|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Mario Kart 7 Rules|edits]]) [[File:Luigi MK7.png|70px]]</nowiki></code>).

The size restrictions are also to keep pages tidy and readable, rather than having giant signatures everywhere making things messy and distracting. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 22:01, 1 March 2015 (EST) | ||
::You can have whatever design you want as long as it fits in the blue box: the stuff on help signature is just a basic guideline for getting people started, and you don't need to use that exact design if you don't want to. But what you ''do'' need to follow are the instructions under the "Preparing for usage" header, which you clearly have not done, since you're still signing with raw coding. I.e. on my page now, you're signing with <code><nowiki>[[User:Mario Kart 7 Rules]] ([[User Talk:Mario Kart 7 Rules|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/User:Mario Kart 7 Rules|edits]])</nowiki></code> when it should ''really'' be <code><nowiki>{{User:Mario Kart 7 Rules/sig}}</nowiki></code>. As outlined in Help:Sig, go to your "preferences", scroll down to the Signature box, and paste <code><nowiki>{{subst:nosubst|User:Mario Kart 7 Rules/sig}}</nowiki></code> into the "New signature:" field. After that, it ''should'' start working properly. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 10:41, 2 March 2015 (EST) | ::You can have whatever design you want as long as it fits in the blue box: the stuff on help signature is just a basic guideline for getting people started, and you don't need to use that exact design if you don't want to.
