On Halopedia we only sign our edits when posting on the Talk pages. To sign your edit just put the following code after your post -- ~~~~. Then when you press the "Save Page" button Halopedia will convert the -- ~~~~ to YOUR user name and the time and date you posted.

Customizing Signatures

If you want you can customize your signature by editing your preferences. First click on the "my preferences" link at the very top of the page. On the User Profile tab enter your custom signature in the "Nickname" box and save. Below is an example of custom signature:

[[User:YOUR USERNAME|<font color="COLOR YOU WANT">USERNAME OR NICKNAME</font>]] [[Image:IMAGE YOU WANT|14px]] <sup>[[User talk:YOUR USERNAME|<font color="COLOR YOU WANT">"TALK PAGE" OR "COMM" OR SOMETHING ELSE</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/YOUR USERNAME|<font color="COLOR YOU WANT">"CONTRIBUTIONS" OR SOMETHING ELSE</font>]]</sub>

How to Put it into Action

  • Create a new page for the sig. Example: "User: YOUR USERNAME/Sig"
  • Put the code for the desired signature on the page.
  • Save the page and REMEMBER THE PAGENAME. Example: "User: YOUR USERNAME/Sig"
  • Go to your preferences and type {{Subst:User:YOUR USERNAME/Sig}} into the nickname bar and make sure to check the Raw Signatures option.
