Please remember to sign all your talk page messages. You can do this in one of two ways:


'''It's 4 tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>)'''.  
*'''Typing 4 tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>)''': Depending on where your computer are from, the tilde key is usually in the top left of the keyboard (American) or to the left of the Enter key (British, Australian).
*'''For Mac users and others:''' If you're on a Mac or can't find the tilde key, press the Signature button above the edit box ([[File:Button_sig.png]]). It adds the tildes for you.


Depending on where you are, the tilde key is most likely either in the top left of the keyboard (American) or just to the left of the Enter button (British, Australian).
In both cases, the tildes are automatically transformed in to a text signature with a date and time stamp beside it when you save the page. You can preview what your signature will look like by selecting "Show preview" when adding a message to a page. You can customise your signature with [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]]. Please do not use signatures on pages that are not talk pages.


'''For Macfags and Other Retards:''' If you're on a Mac or can't find the tilde key, press the Signature button above the edit box ([[File:Button_sig.png]]). It signs it for you.

Signing message posts

Please remember to sign all your talk page messages. You can do this in one of two ways:

  • Typing 4 tildes (~~~~): Depending on where your computer are from, the tilde key is usually in the top left of the keyboard (American) or to the left of the Enter key (British, Australian).
  • For Mac users and others: If you're on a Mac or can't find the tilde key, press the Signature button above the edit box (Button sig.png). It adds the tildes for you.

In both cases, the tildes are automatically transformed in to a text signature with a date and time stamp beside it when you save the page. You can preview what your signature will look like by selecting "Show preview" when adding a message to a page. You can customise your signature with user preferences. Please do not use signatures on pages that are not talk pages.

Thank you.
