{{Nutshell|When leaving a comment on a [[discussion page]] in Saintapedia, please identify yourself as it's author.}}


'''Signatures''' on [[Saintapedia]] identify you as a user and your contributions to the wiki. They encourage civility in discussions by identifying the author of a particular comment and the date and time at which it was made. Because of that, having an uncivil signature is strongly discouraged. In general, anything that is not allowed in a [[username]] should not be used in a signature either.

For a complete description of how to sign your posts and why it is important, see {{W|article=Wikipedia:Signatures}}

== Adding your signature ==

There are two editors on Saintapedia.

=== VisualEditor ===
To add a signature in [[VisualEditor]]:
# Position your cursor at the end of your comment
# From the [[Help:Visual editor#VisualEditor toolbar|VisualEditor toolbar]], open the [[Help:Visual editor#Insert|Insert]] menu
# Select "Your signature

=== Enhanced editor ===
When editing with [[Enhanced editor]], you can add your signature two ways.

==== Toolbar ====
The [[Help:Editing toolbar#Basic tools|Basic toolbar]] portion of [[Help:Editing toolbar|Editing toolbar]], part of [[Enhanced editor]]:<blockquote>[[File:Saintapedia signature icon.png|30x30px]] (Signature - Appears only on [[Talk pages]]): This icon allows you to sign an article with your [[user name]], time, and date.</blockquote>

==== Manually ====
# At the end of your post, add four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>)
# When you save the page the software will convert these four tildes into a link to your name and a date/time stamp.
