Help:Signature
Here's how to create a signature:
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.
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.
Preparing for Usage
Once you are at your preferences page, change the text in the "Your nickname (for signatures)" box to this:
{{User:Username/sig}}
Make sure the "
" option is checked, then save your preferences and empty your cache.
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 |
