Custom signature help

[edit]

A lot of people have trouble getting their custom signatures to appear by typing ~~~~, so I've made this little guide to help anyone that needs it.

  • First of all, create a custom signature by going to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:###/Sig and creating a page (where ### is your username).
  • On your new "/Sig" page, click "edit this page" and type out your custom signature. Mine is <big>''' [[User:ViperBlade|<font color=#00D500>ViperBlade</font>]] '''</big><sup><small>[[User_Talk:ViperBlade|<font color=#008800>Talk!!</font>]]</small></sup>
  • After previewing and editing until you're happy with your sig, save the changes and click "my preferences".
  • In the "Signature" text box, type "{{SUBST:User:###/Sig}} (where ### is your username). Check the "Raw signature" checkbox and save your preferences.
  • Go to the sandbox and test everything works. Simply typing ~~~~ and previewing should show your new signature and timestamp.
