==Customizing your signature==
'''Here's how to create a signature:''' __NOTOC__
If you want you can customize your signature by editing your preferences. Visit [[Special:Preferences]], and on the "User Profile" tab enter your custom signature in the "Signature" field. '''Make sure to check "Raw Signatures."''' Below is an example of a custom signature:


=== Base creation ===
<code><nowiki>[[User:YOUR USERNAME|<span style="color:blue">USERNAME</span>]] [[File:IMAGE YOU WANT|14px]] ([[User talk:YOUR USERNAME|<span style="color:blue">"TALK PAGE" OR "COMM" OR SOMETHING ELSE</span>]])</nowiki></code>
1. Create a page for your signature [[Special:Mypage/sig|here]].
2. Edit the page and insert this text:<pre>[[User:Username|Username]]</pre> replacing "Username" with your username.
 
=== Customization ===
If you want your name to be colored or have a different font, insert this text '''instead''' of the text in number two:<pre>[[User:Username|<span style="font-family:font; color:#hexcode;">Username</span>]]</pre>
If you want to link to your talk page and your contributions page, insert this text '''after''' the text in numbers two or three:
<pre>([[User talk:Username|talk]] &amp;middot; [[Special:Contributions/Username|edits]])</pre>
Once you have the signature created the way you want it, save the edit. Then go to your [[Special:Preferences|preferences page]]. ''Be sure to follow all rules outlined in [[Destinypedia:Signature Policy]].''
 
=== Preparing for usage ===
Once you are at your preferences page, change the text in the "Signature" box to this:<pre>{{User:Username/sig}}</pre>
 
Make sure the "[[File:Rawsigcheckbox.png|link=|top]] Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" option is checked, and save your preferences.
 
== Usage ==
Now that your signature is set up, know how to use it:
