This tutorial will teach you how to make a signature.
Base creation
- Create a page for your signature here.
- Edit the page and insert this text:
[[User:Username|Username]]
- Replace "Username" with your username. Like That:
[[User:Porplemontage|Porple]]
Customization
If you want your name to be colored or have a different font, replace the text on the signature page with this:
[[User:Username|<span style="font-family:serif;color:#f00">Username</span>]]
If you want to link to your talk page and your contributions page, insert this text at the end of the signature page:
([[User talk:Username|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Username|edits]])
Be sure to follow all rules outlined in MarioWiki:Signature. Once you have the signature created, click save. Then go to your preferences page.
Preparing for usage
Once you are at your preferences page, change the text in the "Signature" box to this:
{{subst:nosubst|User:Username/sig}}
See {{nosubst}} for more information.
Make sure the " Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" option is checked and save your preferences.
Usage
Now that your signature is set up, know how it works:
Code | Turns into | Appears as | Mainly used for |
---|---|---|---|
~~~ | {{User:Username/sig}} | Template:Fakelink (Template:Fakelink · Template:Fakelink) | Welcoming |
~~~~ | {{User:User/sig}} 9:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC) | Template:Fakelink (Template:Fakelink · Template:Fakelink) 9:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC) | Talk pages |
~~~~~ | 9:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC) | 9:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC) | Welcoming, recording of date and time |
The pages where you don't use signatures
Certain pages do not allow these signature codes to be used on them, a majority of them being MarioWiki namespace pages. You can tell when not to use signatures when the page mentions that it follows the "No-Signature Policy". For more information about the policy, check this page.
