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. | 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'''.

*Example: Take a look at [[User:Goolix/sig.]] for an example of code to use. There are other custom sigs out there, but I don't want to link to them without permission. If you find one you like, you can take a look at the source by adding "/sig" at the end of the user in question's userpage. | *Example: Take a look at [[User:Goolix/sig.]] for an example of code to use.
