Hey!

Inline TeX deprecated

[edit]

I'm sure you are imagining you are performing a useful service by supplanting inline math templates with inline TeX, and you may not even imagine it on your platform. WP is read by lots of readers, worldwide, on all kinds of platforms, and, depending on their implementation of Mathjax or its alternatives, inline TeX may look like an atrocious ransom letter. The reason is math templates typeset properly, and adjust sizes and fonts and spacings, but TeX code may be a brutish inserted picture that makes reading problematic. So, you might be pleasing some readers by uniformizing fonts and typefaces, but you are, in greater measure making life difficult for others. If you explore different platforms and rendering defaults you might appreciate the point. Just so you know... Cuzkatzimhut (talk) 15:59, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with your custom signature

[edit]

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.
