I would recommend that you get a username by clicking .

As a registered user, you gain the use of an appropriate username of your choice, a personal watchlist to which you can add articles that interest you, the ability to start new pages, and much more.

[edit] Auto-signature
I'd like the option of suppressing the signature, or dispensing with it altogether. I find myself adding other templates, such as edit summary reminders, to the end of welcome messages, and it just doesn't work well with the auto-sig. I now have to break out the edit summary reminders in a separate, unnecessary section. Other templates don't do this, either. Otherwise, great template.

- Done. I also suppressed "Again, welcome!" with this option, as it indicates the closure of a message. -Audacity 00:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The six bulleted items
Can they be set up in two columns? The list leaves a lot of empty space that prevents it from being compact. Xiner (talk, email) 20:34, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think everyone would want to use this, and I can't figure out how to do it without messing up the formatting of certain options. Perhaps ask someone with better HTML/wikitable experience. -Audacity 00:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
