Forum:Making a signature Global

I was (apparantly mistakenly) under the impression that to create a Global signature we needed to create it here on Community. But I've created mine: User:DarkMoonRising/sig and it seems the MyPreferences details are copied to all wikias: but inserting my signature on any page simply inserts the text:  unless I copy and paste the source of User:DarkMoonRising/sig onto each and every wikia's w:c::User:DarkMoonRising/sig which defeats the purpose - editing the Central sig leaves every wikia sig untouched...

Is there a way to make the sig global?

 * If you use User:DarkMoonRising/sig, then it will load User:DarkMoonRising/sig from the specific wiki your on. To reference User:DarkMoonRising/sig from one wiki across all wikis, you will need to use a normal interwiki link. Eg . To reference here, Community Central, you can just use   instead of  . — Matthew2602 (talk) 06:29, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Signatures should not ever be used as inter-wiki links. Scary transclusion, as it's coined, should be used sparingly. They cause an incredible server strain on Wikia's servers every time a page with a signature is loaded. Central admins have been known to remove signature templates that are found to be used across Wikia. In short, don't do it.


 * Your only real choice is what you stated above. Create the template on each wiki you'd use it on. This is much easier on Wikia's servers and allows you to customize the template on every wiki. Rappy 06:31, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) So apparently interwiki template transclusions don't even work, so scratch that. — Matthew2602 (talk) 06:37, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * They should never ever be used on something that ends up being used in multiple pages or even multiple times on the same page. Ideally, they are only really used for shared help and User Page transclusions.. Any usage beyond that is to be avoided. The server strain they create can slow page loads dramatically.

 * So why are the instructions stating to create it on Central in the first place? I'll try and find that page again, but the purpose was to have a Central sig that pointed your Profile page and Talk page etc to your main wiki site rather than blank profile pages on each and every wiki you use...

 * PS. If global configs are not allowed and are to be deleted (I read that was proposed to be the case several years ago but then the wikia bosses said they fixed up that issue so it is no problem now), then why are there hundreds of (undeleted) global sigs on here? http://community.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=&to=&namespace=10
