Three tildes: &mdash;Dr Ishmael #19:14, 10 Dec 2010 (UTC)#

Set sig in preferences to. Set up ~.sig page with to insert the time where you want. Sign with 3 tildes so timestamp is not appended automatically.

The end result will look like.

Voila, a non-substed sig that can apply custom style to the timestamp.

Except that the wiki is still configured to force-subst sig templates. &mdash;Dr Ishmael #19:14, 10 Dec 2010 (UTC)#


 * The problem is that it won't be cached since it uses a parameter, resulting in a template call for each signature used on a talkpage. I don't think we ought to go there. --◄mendel► 10:44, 11 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Why do you always have to piss on my ideas? Not everyone is going to use sig templates in the first place, and out of them, very few are going to use it like this.  And the overall page can still be cached.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 14:07, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
