One of the most fun things about talk page messages is the signatures, you want yours to be unique and not the default signature. Well, this guide is going to show you how without breaking any laws. Here's my signature. TheQ Editor (Talk)

Not that much excitement huh?

HTML & CSS

[edit]

To make fun signatures, you would want to learn some HTML tags. Don't worry, they're not too painful. They have an opening tag and a closing tag. An example one would be this. <tag>text</tag>

And to use them on your signature, you just have to use them in the correct place. You insert them around the text that shows up in the wikilink.

[[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]

You apply the tags around the bolded text. Now here are the tags.

More Complex

text <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">signature</span> text text signature text the font could be changed too.
text <span style="text-shadow:green 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em">signature</span> text text signature text You can change the color. The em indicates the distance between the shadow and letter.
text <span style="text-shadow:green 0.4em 0.4em 0.4em">signature</span> text text signature text An example of changing the em.

And to apply 2 or more of the <span> tags, just add a semi colon (;) to the end and add the next style.

For example.

text <span style="color:blue;text-shadow:orange 0.3em 0.3em 0.3em;font-family:Comic Sans MS">'''signature'''</span> text

will render as

Almost There

[edit]

You almost made it! Remember, you can still use nicknames and other minor features in your signature too! Your "(talk)" could be talk to me! and stuff like that. This page only teaches you how to edit the appearance.
