Have you ever looked at a signature and wondered "How do they do that?!" Well, it's very easy. All you have to do is create a custom signature. To do so, you need to do several things.

First, copy the following text:

(signature here)<noinclude>

[[Category:User Signatures|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>

Now, paste it on this page and replace the (signature here) with your custom signature. Next, create this page with the following:

{{:User:(your username)/sig}}

Replace (your username) with your username.

Once you've done this, open your preferences and click the "treat signature as raw wikitext" box under signature. Then, place in the signature box:

{{subst:User:(your username)/sig2}}

Once you've done this, your custom signature should be ready to go!

Please read our rules regarding signatures to ensure that you create a sig that is permitted.
