FalloutWiki:Schmault-Tec University/Editing/Lesson 10

Signing your posts on talk pages is required, since it facilitates discussion by identifying the author of a particular comment. Discussion is an important part of collaborative editing, because it helps all users to understand the thought processes of other users. Signatures can be customized to be fun and unique, just like a real signature.

Instructions
Signatures can be added on the wiki by typing four tildes ~ but have to be set up in your preferences first. If nothing is set up, it will post your username and a timestamp.

Signatures can be changed in your preferences, accessed by the drop down in the upper right hand corner. Make sure that the box is checked that says "Treat signature as wikitext." There is no policy about signatures at this time, I just ask that editors use common sense - don't make the images too big, the colors impossible to read, etc. Never represent yourself as another user.

Try it out!
In order to give you a head start, here is the wiki markup of my signature that you can use as a template for your own signature: -Kate Aces Take her for a spin!

TASK
'''To earn a new badge, create your signature and leave a message using it on my talk page. '''
