	==== Extended formatting for signatures ====		==== Extended formatting for signatures ====
	A signature's background should never occupy more than a single line, or else it can obstruct viewing the preceding or following person's comments on a talk page. However, some users have signature formatting which is so long that their one line occupies multiple lines of space in an edit box. When other users ~~will~~ go to ~~edit~~ ~~and~~ reply ~~to said user~~, it can become difficult to scroll through the talk page. The preferred solution to this is not to substitute your signature subpage, but to instead include it as a template call. This is done by creating a second userpage called "autosig" and setting its content to be the call to the "signature" userpage created in the previous example. Then, in your user profile you set your nickname to substitute the "autosig" page instead.

	For the previously explained example, after creating her desired "signature" user page, [[User:UlurusGirlfriend]] would enter "User:UlurusGirlfriend/autosig" in the search box, press "go", and then click the "create this page" link on the search results. She would then enter "<code><nowiki>{{User:UlurusGirlfriend/signature}}</nowiki></code>" into the edit window and click the "save" button to store her new userpage. Next, she would click "[[Special:Preferences\|My Preferences]]" and set her nickname field to "<code><nowiki>{{subst:User:UlurusGirlfriend/autosig}}</nowiki></code>" and click "save" (The MediaWiki code forces the use of "subst:", and that is okay here since we are substituting one template with another). As with the previous example, "Raw Signatures" must be checked.
