A '''signature''' is a piece of text or wikicode which identifies you as the author of a block of text | A '''signature''' is a piece of text or wikicode which identifies you as the author of a block of text on a {{w|wiki}}. Signatures include the date, time, and your username. Signatures contain links to your userpage, talk page, and contributions. This helps other users find your information, your edits, and a place where they can leave you messages easily. Including the date and time allows other and new users see how current the discuss you participated in are. If you're stuck on how talk pages work, see: [[:Help:Talk Pages]] | ||
Signatures are used on talkpages and forums to easily track discussions, those participating in them, and who has which opinion about what. In the world of wikis, we call this having good "{{w|Wikipedia:Wikiquette|Wikiquette}}". As such, it is a direct violation of Wikiquette to include signatures on mainspace articles. For instance, if you noticed that an editor said [[Crono]]'s hair was green, when in fact, you know and have proof, that his hair is red, you could not edit the page and include your signature after the edit. Likewise, help pages and policy pages should be signature-free. | Signatures are used on talkpages and forums to easily track discussions, those participating in them, and who has which opinion about what.
