[edit]Ezhiki, is it your private and only personal template? I want some too:D JLincoln (talk) 14:26, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
- No, it's for anybody to use; just a convenience thing. Just add {{Tb|JLincoln|section name}} on other person's talk page if you replied to that person's question on yours. "Section name" is the name of the section on your talk page.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 4, 2012; 14:34 (UTC)
- Get it! Thanks:) JLincoln (talk) 14:49, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, what was that next «|ts=—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 4, 2012; 15:11 (UTC)»? JLincoln (talk) 15:32, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
- Was it automated signature filling? 83.149.8.139 (talk) 07:10, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for the delayed answer—I am not usually on Wikipedia during weekends; last Saturday was one of the rare exceptions. Also, let me answer all of the questions on this page, so we don't have to jump back and forth.
- The "ts" parameter in the {{tb}} template is the message time stamp. It's usually omitted when the template is used for the first time, but when another reply is added on the other page, "ts=~~~~" is added to trigger the "new message" yellow bar on the recipient's talk page. If another reply is added, then the expanded signature is replaced with ~~~~ again, which generates the same signature, but with an updated time stamp (so the yellow bar is triggered again).
- Regarding a custom signature, did you find the "Signature" subsection on the first tab of your preferences? There are three parts in that subsection: your current signature, a text box for the code generating your signature, and a checkbox labeled "treat the above as wiki markup". When you are using a custom signature, the checkbox is usually in the checked state, and the textbox contains the wikimarkup responsible for generating your signature.
- For example, if you want you signature to look something like this:
- —I am JLincoln; leave me a message here!and it'd better be interesting!
- then enter the following into the textbox and check the box below:
- —I am [[User:JLincoln|JLincoln]]; leave me a message [[User talk:JLincoln|here]]!<sup><small>and it'd better be interesting!</small></sup>
- You can incorporate any wikimarkup as well as html tags; just make sure the signature is not excessively distracting, clearly links to your user and talk pages, and meets other signature guidelines outlined in Wikipedia:Signatures.

- Thanks. Unwell to register.
- Оно само это всё пишет?
- It won't generate the usual signature in the latter case? Thanks. /Josh

- Yup, the four tildes will expand into the full signature once you save your edit.
- Not sure what you mean by "usual signature"? If you mean editing while not logged in, then no, in that case your signature always defaults to your current IP address.
- Best of luck with Zuckerberg; I always knew that not having a Facebook account would pay off in the future :)—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 7, 2012; 19:26 (UTC)
- Thanks. Unwell to register.
- 1 и 2 - это про твои 1 и 2. 83.149.8.194 (talk):P
- Ah, got it... I think... If you have a custom signature, the usual default signature will no longer be generated.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 7, 2012; 19:41 (UTC)
Signature
[edit]I did it:D ;) Josh, linguist (welcome:)) 11:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC) PS: Oops - something isn't working:/ Josh, linguist (welcome:))
- Test: Josh, linguist (talk) 11:18, 8 August 2012 (UTC) (that "welcome" appeared the proper link on the "preferences" page but wouldn't do it here!:\ ) Josh, linguist (talk)
- Add: I did for wikitext properly (and it seemed working - yes!); now I've just filled plain text for the "User" part - it was all - and ticked the "wiki" box off back again:/ Josh, linguist (talk) 11:18, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- You don't really need the "#top" part. The reason the "welcome" link didn't work the first time is because you are testing your signature on the same page the link leads to (it's a feature, not a bug). It would have worked OK from any other page (except, obviously, on your user page, where the "Josh, linguist" part would have been bolded/unlinked).—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 8, 2012; 12:04 (UTC)
- Oh! I can check it out in my sandbox, can't I?:) Josh, linguist (talk) 08:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yup, that's what the sandbox is for—to test stuff :)—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 9, 2012; 11:58 (UTC)
Conversations in a foreign language
[edit]Yeah, on the talk pages of the editors involved it's OK. But since you are logged out, it's impossible for a third party to determine whether the IP belongs to one of us or not, hence the warning. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 7, 2012; 20:30 (UTC)
- Thanks:)

Disambiguation link notification for October 2
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ACS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
- I'm not sure what your "DAB" is, so I left it back.
I'm aware of that link. The point why I left it that way is that the article is sort of a stub and anyway to be constructed (the draft basic structure was proposed). Josh, linguist (talk) 10:53, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
