			One thing you can do is create another "autosig" page ([[User:Ryangibsonstewart/autosig]], for example), which doesn't have all the code, just the original sig template. Then, I subst ''that'' page in my [[special:preferences\|preferences]], and every time I sign my name, only the template shows up, not all that yucky code. Does that make sense? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 14:46, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

	* Yes. Basically, you just need to create a userpage as above, and then change your nickname in your [[Special:Preferences]] to <code>{{subst:User:Explicit/Signature}}</code>. In general, it's better to subst signatures from userpages rather than simply transcluding them. You don't get a What Links Here page, and your old sigs don't update automatically when you change it, but transclusions are a bit of a pain on the server, and considering one user might have ''thousands'' of signatures transcluded, it adds up quickly.--[[User:Hardvice\|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice\|(talk)]]</small> 14:42, 1 November 2007 (EDT)		* Yes.
