Signature Tutorial — coding help

Signatures are a commonly used tool on "talk" pages to tell who wrote what and when. They can be written in plain text or WikiText. Here are some step by step instructions on how to customize your signature!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of Fandom UCP update Signatures no longer work in forums or comments. They work in talk pages (select three dots, then Talk) and your sandbox.

Step 1: From any page, hover over your profile picture. Go to My Preferences, and click on it.

Step 2: Type what you want in the circled box. This section can be found in the 'User Profile' section of My Preferences.

Type your new signature in the circled box

Step 2.5:

If you would like Wikitext enabled (so you can add code into your signature), click the box circled.

If you would like wiki text enabled, click on the circled box

Step 3:

Click save when you're done

Click save (if you used WikiText, make sure to always close it off with a closing tag (</div>, </span> etc.)

IMPORTANT NOTES

All closing tags must be in the right order in your signature
All tags must be closed off, without ANY extra tags
<br> tags do not work. Use <br/> instead.
The code is VERY strict. Always use quotations where needed and semicolons as well.
Items/code that uses multiple lines (such as imagemaps or Galleries) do not function in signatures, as they only use one line of code.

Using your Signature:

To place your signature with timestamp, type this in the source:

 ~~~~

To place it without timestamp, type this in the source:

~~~

A free template for a signature is provided below:

<span style="border:1px white inset;border-radius:3px;padding:2px;background: linear-gradient(to top, #b0e0e6 0%, white 100%);color:#cccccc;">[[User:MajesticPotatoez|MajesticPotatoez]] | [[Message Wall:MajesticPotatoez|Message Wall]] | [[Special:Contributions/MajesticPotatoez|Contribs]]</span>

Check the box to have Wikitext enabled. Substitute the "MajesticPotatoez" for your username, and it should turn out like the following:

MajesticPotatoez | Message Wall | Contribs

Examples:

Please note that these examples are NOT F2U. They are actual signatures that are in use.
