MarioWiki talk:Signatures

Going through the rules of this page, very few signatures conform to the rules, many signatures break several of the rules listed here, especially about the limit. Shouldn't there be some kind of signature check? - 14:21, 18 June 2007 (EDT)
 * Lol, just read the header. Good going. - 14:22, 18 June 2007 (EDT)
 * These rules are stupid.
 * Er... That was rash of me. I meant that several of these things seem very minor and silly. Just a few of them particularly.

Five links rule
Does the five links rule apply to repeated links? When a user has two instances in his sig which link to the same page, do they count as one link or two links? - 13:22, 10 September 2007 (EDT)
 * 2 links. 18:21, 10 September 2007 (EDT)

dkpeety99 told me,
that ur only aloud 2 have one sig. where does it say that? other people have sigs galore!

We should have a rule about that. I will be amending that into the policy.-- 14:25, 24 May 2011 (EDT)

Rule 10
I clicked on the link, (the one that said signature subpage) and it said "this wiki doesn't have a page for 'User:Superfiremario/Sig'." Can you help? -- 19:53, 24 May 2011 (EDT)
 * I just searched for it in the search bar, and it showed up.
 * I think it's "User:Superfiremario/sig", where "sig" is not capitalized. The search engine also does not differentiate between capitalized and noncapitalized letters, so that might be your problem.

Signiature?
How do I make a picture signature?

I need to know how to make a perfect picture sig.
Mine was terrible, the pictures were too big, can someone help? -- Toadette Rocks! 07:39, 4 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Make sure to size the pictures by having  after the file name. So something like  . If you need further assistance with this, let me know and I'll run you through it on your talk page.

 * I need help please.

Make the size of the sigbox longer
CANCELLED BY THE ADMINISTRATORS This should be a full Proposal: TPP's are for merging, splitting or changing specific pages or groups of pages, not for making policy decisions.

I think that too many people are getting because of their signature's size. I feel that some of them want to be creative and need some room for it.

Proposer: Deadline: September 14, 2013, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) Per...me

Oppose

 * No, the signature is already big enough, it shouldn't be that big.. I think the current size is already more than enough
 * 1) - We aren't a sig showroom, what we have now is more than enough.
 * 2) - Per Tucayo.
 * 3) - Per all.
 * 4) Per Tucayo.
 * 5) M'afraid that the signature is supposed to identify the user in question, so it should not take too much space...

Comments
@Megadardery: It wouldn't be much bigger... besides, you give a lot of reminders anyway. 18:42, 1 September 2013 (EDT)

@Tucayo: It would only be longer. 18:46, 1 September 2013 (EDT)
 * You should specify all the details in the proposal. "Increase the sigbox size" is way too broad. -- 18:53, 1 September 2013 (EDT)
 * You could change the title to 'Inserting the signature size limit' or something-- 19:10, 1 September 2013 (EDT)

It is already very big, and I already thought about making it smaller, but decided to wait a little before proposing it.-- 19:06, 1 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Then everyone would get a sigfix. 19:10, 1 September 2013 (EDT)


 * That's why I said "decided to wait a little before proposing it".-- 19:12, 1 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Really, I am actually proposing for people that don't have a sig yet. 19:19, 1 September 2013 (EDT)


 * If you visited SSBWiki before, you would see how tight is their rules, while I don't agree with the 'transcluded' rule (which means that you cannot use { {User:USER/sig}}) I love how they limit their signature height to 20px limit.-- 19:34, 1 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Never been there, sorry 19:35, 1 September 2013 (EDT)

This really isn't something that can be decided by TPP, but if you want, you can re-launch it as a regular Proposal. - 17:38, 3 September 2013 (EDT)

Signature Subpage link broken
Where it says "Your signature must be visible on your signature subpage", the link is to, which is incorrect according to the top of the page (says it must be Special:Mypage/sig). 09:22, 5 November 2013 (EST)
 * Yeah, the link has a capital "Sig" instead of the lower case one. I'll bring this up to the admins, don't worry. 12:09, 5 November 2013 (EST)

Font

 * "Your signature must fit inside this box: [[File:Sigbox.svg]]."

Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) I don't think this works well, because the actual size of the signature depends on the fonts used.
 * 1) If your HTML code doesn't specify what font to use, then it is chosen according to your bowser's settings. People who choose "Courier New" as the default font of their bowser will see my signature breaking the rule, but others don't.
 * 2) If your HTML code specifies the fonts, it may not work on some computers that don't have them. For example, a person may use "Arial Narrow" to shorten the length of text, but if your computer doesn't have Arial Narrow, the text will be at normal length, and the rule may be broken.
