Wikipedia:Tip of the day/July 20, 2007
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the top of the edit box there is a button that looks like a signature (
) - (click "edit this page" to see it). When you click on the the signature button, it inserts the signature code (~~~~) wherever the blinking cursor is. When you save the page, this code is converted to your signature followed by a date stamp. You can also type in the code manually. To sign without a date stamp, use three tildes (~~~) instead. It is considered proper "Wikiquette" (WI-kee-ket) to sign your messages on talk pages.
Bonus tip: you can customize your signature in your preferences menu.
