Camp Half-Blood Wiki:Signature policy
Talk0this wiki
This page contains an official policy of Camp Half-Blood Wiki.
It should be followed by all editors.
Camp Half-Blood Wiki's Signature policy is as follows. In order to identify users and attribute comments and votes on talk pages, forum threads, and other discussion pages on Camp Half-Blood Wiki, user comments must be signed. This is particularly important on pages where voting is involved: votes which are unsigned and undated may be considered invalid.
The standard signature on Wikia (produced via ~~~~ or ~~~ to provide a signature without the date) consists of a simple link to your user page. This can be customized in your preferences under "user profile." You can create a custom signature by checking the "raw signatures" box, and entering the MediaWiki code for your new signature in the "Nickname" field.
There are several restrictions you must follow when creating a customized signature:
- You may only have one picture in your signature. This picture may not:
- Be an animated .gif file.
- Have more than one image.
- Be more than 19 pixels in height (this limit exists for a reason)
- Violate User Image Policy (meaning, for example, that the image must be appropriate for general viewing, must have a proper copyright tag, and will count towards your personal image upload limit if not in general use on Camp Half-Blood Wiki.)
- You must have a link back to your userpage in your signature.
- You must include your actual user name, or an image depicting it, in your signature.
- You may include only one relevant link in your signature. You may use it to link to your talk page, contributions, etc.
- If you are using a template for your custom signature (such as {{User:Username/Sig}}), you must enter {{Subst:User:Username/Sig}} in your preferences.
The following are specifically prohibited:
- Magic words such as {{PAGENAME}}.
- Line-breaks (<br />).
- Superscript and/or subscript nesting likethis or likethis.
