Signing comments edit

Hello Kavigupta! When posting comments on Talk pages (not inside articles themselves), don't forget to sign your comment with four tildes ~~~~ at the end. Or just click the scribbly signature icon next to B and I in the top left corner of the editing interface toolbar and it types out the four tildes ~~~~ for you. --Treetear (talk) 11:35, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I use the tildes, and then it generates the signature with no links in it. That's on my desktop (Chrome/Ubuntu) but this is on mobile, so let me see if it works here: Kavigupta 16:48, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply! Interesting; I'm not sure what's going on. Try going to Special:Preferences and scroll down to "Signature" and "Your existing signature". Check if that one has links the proper way, otherwise you might need to change this setting. Best regards, Treetear (talk) 18:26, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Ok I had some weird setting set, I think, let's see if this fixes it. Kavigupta (talk) 19:10, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Nice! I have no idea how that setting got out of whack; I think several-years-younger me who set up this account might have not known what they were doing. Thanks for the advice! Kavigupta (talk) 19:13, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Perfect - happy I could help! --Treetear (talk) 14:02, 24 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Wikipedia is not a medium for publishing fiction, and userspace pages are not a free personal web space for hosting web pages unrelated to work for the encyclopaedia. JBW (talk) 19:41, 1 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
    • Ah I did not realize, I assumed the user pages were just a scratch area where I could use media wiki. I will refrain from doing this in future Kavigupta (talk) 19:54, 1 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia, you can always bring them to the Teahouse. I realize you have had an account for a long time but I've been here just as long and I still learn new things! Liz Read! Talk! 01:03, 2 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
