Tip of the Month

Here's a terrific tip to help you in your editing:

When commenting on talk pages, some users like to use signatures with fancy text that would otherwise take up too much room on the talk page itself. They create a subpage at User:Username/sig and use a template-style as their signature.

In order to make ~~~ come out as {{User:Username/sig}} to save time, check the raw sig box and input this in your signature field:

{{subst:nosubst|User:Username/sig}}
