As he just said, it's when you add a / to an article. As another example, a subpage of ''Red Bulborb'' could be called ''Red Bulborb/Habits''. You should ignore the ''sig 2'' thing for now, that was rather a repair of Jimbo's sig. An alternate explanation to this is [[Help:Editing#Signatures|here]]. That explanation is a bit more detailed (Not that yours was bad, though).--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}10:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC) | As he just said, it's when you add a / to an article.

:I thought you needed a second signature page because the Nickname field automatically substitutes text from whatever template you used in it. ...Or does mine just do that because I'm using a template within a template? {{User:Jimbo Jambo/sig2}} | |||
::Substituion only occurs when you add <nowiki>{{subst:[...]}}</nowiki>. Without that, it always inserts an entire page, but not in form of coding. And now, I'll use <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, which will form the code itself.--[[User:Prezintenden|<b><span style="color:Orange">Prez</span></b>]]<b>[[User talk:Prezintenden|<span style="color:Gray">intenden</span>]]</b> 17:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
:::I had thought that it substituted my sig2 page because I used a template within a template, but apparently it just automatically does it when you put a template in the Nickname field. Anyway, my point is that if you put a sig2 page in the Nickname field, the substituted text it adds to pages in the text on the sig2 page, which is <nowiki>{{User:User/sig}}</nowiki>, rather than the raw signature text, so you can sign pages quickly with tildes without adding too much text. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | |||
::::''Now'' I get what I misunderstood. Yeah, I can see how this would save me time. I shall now test thee.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}} 17:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
