Signatures

A signature is added using ~ at the end of a message. This automatically changes into the username of the person who typed it, a link to their user page, and it also adds the time of the message. Please do not use them on articles. They should only be used on talk pages so that people know who is saying what - articles will be edited by several people and the authors of each comment is less significant. If appropriate one may use to display it without the time stamp, or  to have only the time stamp.

While fully functional, the default signature is rather basic. All members are encouraged to edit it which can be done by clicking on the arrow beside MORE on the top right of the screen, and clicking on Preferences. You may then enter code for a signature. N.B.: Make sure to tick the box directly below. Otherwise what you enter will link to your userpage, and will appear quite ugly as code is not pleasing to the eye. The time stamp is not part of the coding used in that area, forget all about that.

Ideally, the customzied signature will be something like Phenom Delta MSM. The name of the person is first, and links to their userpage. Then there is a link to their talk page, which also informs you of which squad they are a member of. Lastly a link to their contributions is also present. To be artistic, the wing was put in italics while MSM was put in bold. The code for this signature is Phenom Delta MSM. To use a similar signature, simply replace all instances of "Phenom" with your own name, and then replace "Delta" with your own wing, if applicable. Do not alter it apart from those changes. Copy paste the result into your signature field, double check you've ticked the custom signature box, and save.

Signatures are not changed retroactively. When you change your signature, only signings after that change will display your new signature. You can make italic text by adding '' on each side of the text you wish to put in italics. Add one on each side for bold text.

Congratulations on successfully changing your signature! If you have any questions, just put them here.
