===How do I make a totally nifty custom signature?===
To make a custom signature, first make a subpage to your userpage (see below if you don't know how) called '''User:(Your username)/sig.''' On that page, add a link to your userpage, and edit your username as you want it to appear in your signature, maybe adding colour, a picture or a link to your talk page.

After you fixed up your custom sig to your liking, you now (quite obviously) want to display it. To do so, save your creation, then go to your preferences screen in the upper right hand corner. In the "Nickname" field (right under your email address), add '''<nowiki>{{SUBST:User:(yourname)/sig}}</nowiki>''', make sure that "Raw signature" is checked, and save. Now when you sign your name, your sig should be replaced by your custom sig.
