Thread:User talk:Fallacy/Sig borkage/reply (12)

The method Stabby suggested is not necessary any more, as you can just put into your preferences. With this, every time you sign, is inserted into the page, so it won't dump all the code into the talk page, and if you change your sig it will be updated everywhere. However, this is a huge burden on the server, especially on large talk pages like the saloon bar.

Putting into your preferences will instead dump the whole code when you sign. The only problem with this is that normally, that means dumping the whole choose part as it is. Now, you can't just put subst in front of choose as well, because then when you click save on your sig subpage, it'll be substed. So instead you have to use safesubst (with the includeonly around it).
