MediaWiki talk:Tog-fancysig

I think it would be a good idea to take a hint from wikipedia and change this to something more helpful, e.g. :

Sign my name exactly as shown. If unchecked, the contents of the box above will be treated as your nickname and link automatically to your user page. If checked, the above markup will be used for your name when you sign with ~~~ or ~~~~; including any Wiki markup, links, or other valid formatting that it includes.

A link to Help:Wikisig would be useful, but putting wikilinks here is not a good idea because clicking the link toggles the checkbox. Instead, we can put a link on the Signature: label -- Nx / talk 09:51, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that makes more sense. It explains it in the help file on signatures, but "raw signatures" is a bit ambiguous. ^bomination 09:58, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Definitely a good idea. That will make the option a lot clearer. –SuspectedReplicant^{retire me} 12:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
