Forum:Signature creation, how to do it?

Hi,

I have not been very long on Wikia and have recently gotten the adoption of a small wiki finished.

I want to change my signature and have looked around a bit, seeing all kinds and shapes in signatures.

I stumbled upon some serious code for a nice signature but it wasn't possible to add that in my username somehow.

Can anyone direct me to a help page where i can find how to change my signature so that it looks better? That i could reflect the fact that i am currently an admin on the wiki and that people can easily get to my talk page?

Thanks heaps.

Go to your preferences, then go to the box where it says signature, you can change your signature from there. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 16:47, July 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you want anything other than a basic signature, you need to make a template of it. To do this, find the code you want to use as your signature and create a new page called User:WikiPim/Sig2. Paste the code in there and change it to your liking, making sure it links to you. Then create another page called User:WikiPim/Sig and place in it, . The final step is then to go into your preferences, click the custom signature button and for the code, place  --


 * Actually, you can just simply place the code in "User:WikiPim/sig" and write "" in your prefs. TK  999  17:22, July 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, you don't want to do that if there is a lot of code. Take my sig for example. If I did not use a two page substitute, every time I signed my name, everything in User:Godisme/Blacksig would be put onto the page everytime. That is over a 1000 bytes added onto a page every time I sign. Instead, I transclude it through another page and it makes it so only that short statement you see when I do sign my name shows up.--
 * Exactly. On top of that, when we edit these pages we don't need to look at hundreds of lines of CSS to try to find where the actual content is.
