MediaWiki talk:Talkpagetext
Revision as of 18:06, 17 November 2022 by While False (talk | contribs)
Quite a few newbies are missing the reminder at the top of the talk pages. My suggestion:
~~~~ | This is a talk page, so please add four tildes ~~~~ to the end of your comments to include your signature. (Or use the signature button at the top of the page.) Thanks!

- I think it's a losing battle. It happens all the time on Wikipedia. I don't think if they can't get it under control, that we could do much better. But that's the defeatist in me. lcarsos (talk) 03:18, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
- What about if we did something like
Sign your posts! ~~~~ |
- A little rewording:

- SineBot of Wikipedia doesn't have available source, but there's a mediawiki extension called abusefilter that I see other wikis using to warn people when they make an unsigned talk post. Also, IronyChef's version of the talk page message looks good enough to me. Vote. Davidy22(talk) 08:42, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

- And thanks to that this discussion can still be read 10 years later. —While False (museum | talk | contributions | logs | rights | printable version | page information | what links there | related changes | Google search | current time: 22:17) 18:06, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Update: I just set this up so it doesn't show for admins. It can happen that a admin will occasionally forget to sign, but that shouldn't happen as frequently as to require the reminder. --Waldir (talk) 03:38, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
