Help:Signature

Also see MarioWiki:Signature.

This tutorial will teach you how to make a signature.

Base Creation

1. Create a page for your signature here.
2. Edit the page and insert this text:

[[User:Username|Username]]

Replace "Username" with your username. Like That:

[[User:Username|Yourusername]]

Customization

If you want your name to be colored or have a different font, insert this text instead of the text in number two:

[[User:Username|<span style="font-family:font; color:#hexcode;">
Username</span>]]

If you want to link to your talk page and your contributions page, insert this text after the text in numbers two or three:

([[User talk:Username|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Username|edits]])

Once you have the signature created the way you want it, save the edit. Then go to your preferences page. Be sure to follow all rules outlined in MarioWiki:Signature.

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 " Raw signatures (without automatic link)" option is checked, then save your preferences and empty your cache.

Usage

Now that your signature is set up, know how to work it:

Code	Turns into	Appears as	Mainly used for
~~~	{{User:Username/Sig}}	Template:Fakelink (Template:Fakelink · Template:Fakelink)	welcoming
~~~~	{{User:User/Sig}} 22:20, 6 June 2024 (UTC)	Template:Fakelink (Template:Fakelink · Template:Fakelink) 22:20, 6 June 2024 (UTC)	talk pages
~~~~~	22:20, 6 June 2024 (UTC)	22:20, 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.
