	: The signature substitution in MediaWiki smells of Weird Magic. I'm not sure if it's possible to put that in any page without making it to expand: it's either expanded to full, or kept as is (with <nowiki>). Either way, if you put it in a template, it means that in that case the template ''has'' to be substituted (e.g. <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki>); the template has no other way knowing who added it and when. In a substituted template, the signature could be worked around through using some magic words which are ''in turn'' substituted. Only you have to hack it in somehow, mysteriously, and you'd call <nowiki>{{subst:welcome\|subst=subst:}}</nowiki> and put <nowiki>{{{{{subst\|}}}MYSTERYWORD}}</nowiki> in your template, or something like that - I haven't done anything like this before so I don't know how it works. (You see where this leads, right? Very many curly braces, yes?) I regrettably don't have any pointers at hand. All I know something like this has been done before. Somewhere.
