Your Sig

Hello, and welcome to Zelda Wiki! Always nice to see new contributors. There's just one thing I need to ask of you, and that's for you to check out our policy on custom signatures. As is, your signature places a lot of coding in talk pages, and it makes the edit view look very messy. I'd like for you to please follow our guidelines for custom sigs which are outlined in the page that I linked.

Hope you stick around! Lord knows we need more editors >.>User:Justin/sig 11:05, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! But I thought since my sig is a template the only thing which shows up is the user sig thing {{}} and the time. File:Dekusprout.png

I checked my Preferences and my settings were the same as option 1. What could be going wrong? File:Dekusprout.png

For the signature to be transcluded as a template, you have to use method 2. This isn't mentioned on the signatures page (although it should be; I'll be sure to get around to it when I have the chance), but for big signatures like yours we'd really prefer users use method two.
All you have to do is create a second page called User:Deku Tree Sprout/sig2 and type this in it:
{{:Deku Tree Sprout/sig}}
Then in your preferences you would type the following in the signature box:
{{subst:Deku Tree Sprout/sig2}}
That's all there is to it! :)
One more thing: images even small ones, are against our signature rules. I'm afraid we have to ask you to remove it. — Hylian King [*] 20:43, 10 June 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
