== Customized signatures == Registered users can customize their signature (the part between the two hyphens and the timestamp) by changing the field "{{int:yournick}}" in their [[Help:Preferences|preferences]]. By default, anything you enter there will be wrapped with <code><nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki></code>. To use a special linking (without this automatic link), you have to enable “Raw signatures.” Then you can add Wiki markup and also HTML (as far as allowed on the wiki) as you like, but the maximum length is 255 characters. Please note that striking signatures are often disliked by other users. Note that if you customize your signature, you should avoid displaying the identity of another unrelated user account, unless you also own this account or are explicitly authorized by this user: the link should unambiguously point to '''your''' effective user page or talk page on the local wiki. However, changing your signature will '''not''' override the username that is recorded in page histories. Some wikis may also have defined a restricting policy about the usage of external links or images in signatures. Look at the policies documented and on enforced your local wiki about user accounts and identities. If you enable “Raw signatures” but don't add any customized signature string, you'll sign with your unlinked username. The most common customizations are the following: {| class="wikitable" ! Purpose ! Raw signature ! Resulting signature display (generated by four tildes) |- | Embedding the dashes in the signature | <code><nowiki>-- [[</nowiki>{{ns:2}}:Username|Username]]</code> | -- [[{{ns:2}}:Username|Username]] 12:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC) |- | Adapting the displayed username to your convenience | <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:2}}:Username|Preferred User Name]]</code> | [[{{ns:2}}:Username|Preferred User Name]] 12:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC) |- | Adding a talk page link | <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:2}}:Username|Username]] (<nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:3}}:Username|talk]])</code> | [[{{ns:2}}:Username|Username]] ([[{{ns:3}}:Username|talk]]) 12:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC) |} {{Languages}} [[Category:Help|Signatures]]
