 * I don't quite understand the question, but I think the answer is: . It dumps the template out into the target file. --130.58 03:05, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

Something is wrong now. If I use the ~ to put my signature and I have as my signature, it no more puts my sig as a link to the template, instead it copied the text form the template page to the place of the sig. This means that I can't change my sig template and have all of my previous signatures use the new one. :( Can this be fixed? Or is there a trick to have it work again? --Gem  04:40, 18 April 2006 (CDT)


 * This cannot be fixed in MediaWiki 1.6, and I say should not be fixed. Template inclusion is not nice to the server, and updating your signatures globally is only useful for vanity reasons. You are always free to write  instead of  . &mdash; Stabber (talk) 04:47, 18 April 2006 (CDT)
 * The ~ are good for the date, so I will continue to use them. However the sig now adds a lot of text to each page I sign, so I will remove most of it. There goes the pretty pink... It didn't show in firefox anyway. --Gem [[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 05:47, 18 April 2006 (CDT)

 * Too bothersome. I'll accept the current situation. --Gem [[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 07:01, 18 April 2006 (CDT)


 * In the end, the signature cleanup code was too easy to subvert. How I'm doing it is left as an exercise to the reader. &mdash; Stabber 00:52, 20 April 2006 (CDT)
