Warriors Wiki:Signatures

Signatures are used to mark comments on talk pages and forum posts, and for the purposes of voting.

Signature Use

 * Signatures should be applied to any comment a user makes to another's talk page.
 * Signatures should be applied to any comment a user makes on a Forum Page.
 * Signatures must be applied to any vote a user casts through any means a vote is held to count.

Signature Content

 * Personalized signatures may never be used to impersonate another denizen of the Wiki.
 * Personalized signatures must be made in colors that are readable against the default background colors used on Warriors Wiki. (What is readable is decided by your peers. Should any user have a complaint against your color scheme, it will be heard by the Sysops and acted upon.)
 * Signatures may not contain vulgarities of any kind, including slurs against any race, creed, religious group or sexual orientation.
 * Signatures may not contain outside links
 * EXCEPTION: Outside links to a users' Primary profile on another Wikia are acceptable to increase contact ability.
 * Signatures should not interrupt the flow of text on the pages in which they are used. (Interrupting the flow of text is any text that creates distortion in a block of text, including but not limited to such things as creating open space in text blocks.)
 * Signatures should not contain images that are not expressly mentioned as an exception.
 * EXCEPTION: The @Wikia image used by Wikia Staffers is acceptable.

Signature & Date
The Signature & Date combination is what will see the most use. Signature & Date should be used when signing talk pages, forum posts, and most other applications that call for a signature.

Signature
A signature is used in situations where a date adds nothing (such as signing off on a project task).

Creating a Standard Personalized Signature
A user can customize their signature by going to the Preferences page and altering your settings as instructed.

Steps

 * Go to the User Profile tab in your Preferences page.
 * Enter the text of the signature you wish to use into the Nickname box.
 * (OPTIONAL) If you use Wiki-code or HTML Markup in your signature, make sure that you've clicked the Raw Signatures box.
 * Click the Save button at the bottom to save your changes.

Tips

 * Remember to include a link to your userpage in your signature if you've clicked the Raw Signatures button.
 * A direct link to your talk page is always a nice inclusion.

Creating a Templated Personalized Signature
Some users, to streamline their signature updates, create a template on their User Namespace to store their signature. While this makes updating easier, and makes creation of an attractive signature quicker, it is recommended that you check it frequently, as vandalism is always a possibility. Report any vandalism you encounter to a Sysop.

Steps

 * Enter Signature on your Userpage through standard editing techniques.
 * Go to the page you just created a link to.
 * Edit your sig page to contain the exact signature, as you would like it to appear when you sign.
 * Go to the User Profile tab in your Preferences page.
 * Enter into the Nickname box.
 * Ensure the Raw Signatures button is checked.
 * Click the Save bottom at the bottom to save your changes.

Tips

 * Vandalism is possible when this technique is used. Check your page frequently and keep an eye on your signature.
 * Report any vandalism immediately to a Sysop.
