Lego Critics:Creating User Signatures

The following is a guide on how to create your own personalized user signature.

Step 1: Creating a Signature page
A user subpage should be created for your signature. User subpages are created like any other page, however the title of the page is of the form "User: /". It is recommended that you call your subpage "sig", "signature" or any other name which could be used to refer to a signature, so the overall page name would be, for example, User:/sig.

The signature can be coded using HTML, CSS, or any other code which can be commonly used across Wikia. The signature should contain a link to your userpage and/or talk page so that users can easily contact you by simply clicking on your signature. An example of a basic signature code which has also had some color added to it is shown below. Username  talk which would produce:

Username  talk

To change the colour of each letter individually, add a code command for each letter: W O R D results in: W O R D

The following code is not permitted in signatures:
 * Any unclosed tags, eg having a " " tag without corresponding " ".
 * Any code which makes the signature extend over one line (eg a or tag ).

Step 2: Creating a second Signature page
The following step is optional, but highly recommended, for the following reasons:
 * When the original signature page is updated, all places where the user has previously signed is updated with the new signature.
 * The original signature code is not displayed when a user edits a page containing the signature, which can often be long.

This page should contain the following code: This user subpage should can be called something along the lines of User:Username/sig1.

Step 3: Fixing Preferences
To set up your signature so that it will be placed wherever you sign by using tildes- three for your signature (ie ) or four for your signature with the current time (ie ~), you must first go to your preferences. Firstly, the "Custom Signature" checkbox should be ticked, then in the "Signature:" field, place the following code: Or, if you did not carry out step 2: Please note that the changes to your preferences will affect your signature on every wiki which you edit on, and you will need a page by the same name as the one you have put into your preferences on every wiki you sign on for a signature to appear.

If all goes well, "" and "~" should produce the customized signature which you have created.
