About
If you're curious, this is what I use for my signature. You can use this style for your own if you want.
I use a template for my signature because it allows me to preview it (the prefs page forces me to save first). Unfortunately, . Turns out SUBST is only 1 level deep, so I can use another template.
SUBST: is automatically prepended to the template code by the wiki, so I can't have my old sigs change
Also, I apologize for how long it is (3 lines). It doesn't show when reading a page, but it does when editing. I'll look into using a template, although text gradients are tricky with CSS and only work really well in Webkit, and I'm not special enough to use Javascript in a template. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
Update: It now uses Template:tc, which brings it down to 1 line on my screen (it could be longer on a smaller screen). Hopefully that works for now. --Lethosor (talk) 18:03, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Update: It's now down to what, 21 characters? Close enough. I hope that's not too long, but it's a lot shorter than my old one. --Lethosor (talk) 21:44, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Well, it's longer with that timestamp.
I'm using this as a test page, because it was easier than creating a sandbox. Feel free to leave comments on my talk page instead.
Tests
Old (before creating this page, using 4 tildes) Lethosor (talk) 15:48, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Next (with template for sig): Lethosor (talk) 15:49, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Looks like sigs force use of SUBST... Lethosor (talk) 15:57, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Improved: Lethosor (talk) 16:01, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Less obtrusive in source: Lethosor (talk) 16:02, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Test to make sure noinclude works: Lethosor (talk) 16:17, 23 February 2013 (UTC) ...good (I don't like random links all over the pages I sign)
Again, now using a shorter template: Lethosor (talk) 18:00, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Another test: Lethosor (talk) 21:41, 25 February 2013 (UTC) appears ok... and it works!
