== How to make a signature ==
: 1) Go to your user page and add at the end of the url "/sig".
: 2) At "YourUserName/sig" add this code in it:
::<pre>[[User:YOUR USERNAME HERE|'''''<span style="CSS CODE HERE;">- &nbsp; YOUR USERNAME HERE''''']]&nbsp; </span><noinclude>[[Category:User Signatures|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude></pre>
: 3) Save then make the page "YourUserName/sig2" and put in it:
::<pre>{{:User:YOUR USERNAME HERE/sig}}</pre>
: 4) Save it and go to [[Special:Preferences|My Preferences]] and input <nowiki>{{subst:User:YOUR USERNAME HERE/sig2}}</nowiki> in the box next to where it says "Signature" and then click on the "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" box.
: [[File:Help-Sig-example.png]]
: 5) Save it and your signature should be up and running. If you have issues go to the [[Fire Emblem Wiki:Ostia Square|Ostia Square]].
If you did this correctly you will get a signature like {{:User:Yusei/sig}} 16:45, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
