 :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)
+Thanks it took me 5 hours to get it right! {{User:Last Onion/sig}}
