User talk:NikoSilver/Signature shop/The dark lord trombonator

The Dark Lord...

...has risen and is looking for a cool signature. Your services have been requested, O silver one. Can you help and offer suggestions? Cool fonts with talk page link, colours... You may suggest what you wish! The Dark Lord Trombonator 08:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Heh, very inspiring name! Will work on it. Too bad we don't have standard chars for notes, keys and other musical symbol stuff. I'll do my best with what we got:

The Dark Lord Trombonator (((¶)))

Is it in the right direction? Of course we could have backgrounds and stuff, but keep in mind your username is rather long already, and the sig will become huge. (this one is barely 3 chars below the 200 char limit of WP:SIG...) NikoSilver 11:50, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

it's cool, yeah! I'll use it until boredom stikes again, at which time I will request your services again! Ciao! The Dark Lord Trombonator 05:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Just Testing... [[User:The dark lord trombonator|'''The <font color="black">Dark Lord</font> ''Trombonator''''' [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<big>(</big>(<small>(</small>¶<small>)</small>)<big>)</big>]]]] 05:33, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Nope, that didn't work. How do I make it work? ... I'd sign, but it'd be messy :)

Just copy/paste the following text into your "Nickname" box in the preferences, and don't forget to tick the "Raw signature" box:

[[User:The dark lord trombonator|'''The <font color="black">Dark Lord</font> ''Trombonator''''']] [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<big>(</big>(<small>(</small>¶<small>)</small>)<big>)</big>]]

Cheers! NikoSilver 23:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! The Dark Lord Trombonator (((¶))) 04:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I got a tweak to shorten the damn thing:

The Dark Lord Trombonator (((¶)))

Code below:

[[User:The dark lord trombonator|'''The <font color="black">Dark Lord</font> ''Trombonator''''']] [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<big>(</big>(<small>(¶)</small>)<big>)</big>]]

Only difference is the note (paragraph symbol) becomes small too. I actually like it better this way. Oh, and it's 15 chars shorter too! NikoSilver 16:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The Trombonator has issues

Hey, Niko...

I'm sorry to say I tried to have a go at editing my signature. Some examples can be seen at the talkpage that may or may not be accessible from the link below. I hope your brilliance with all these htmls and everything can help me! The Dark Lord Trombonator (((¶))) 08:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, it worked. maybe it will work on other pages too... just not my talk or user page for some reason... The Dark Lord Trombonator (((¶))) 08:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hah, typical! You can't link your talkpage from within your talkpage! Same goes for the userpage! It's called self-redirect, and WP disallows it. Self-redirects are transformed into bold black text. For example, see here: User talk:NikoSilver/Signature shop/The dark lord trombonator (a link to the present page). Don't worry, it works everywhere else! NikoSilver 13:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh... that kind of makes sense. Cheers for the help! The Dark Lord Trombonator (((¶))) 07:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm back!

Not even Harry Potter can defeat me! Well, OK, a bit of signature tweaking might...

So I tried to add a contributions link to the THE and I moved the talk page link to the TROMBONATOR, but for some reason - and for all I know it should be happening - the DARK LORD is not black! It's in the formula, but won't show. As the great master and expert of signatures, can you help? ~~ THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 07:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
