Make sure to include a link to your user page and/or talk page in your signiture, so that other users can find you and contact you easily.

* '''Substitute your signiture template if you're using one for your signiture.'''
Using a signiture template is allowed as long as the template is substuted. By creating a user page template for a signiture, users can put <code><nowiki>{{subst:User:Example/sig}}</nowiki></code> into their signiture field, and what is put in the page will be used in the signiture. Do not put the raw template into the signiture, as changeable signitures can cause avoidable server strains should the signiture be changed, especially if vandalized, as every page that contains the signiture template page needs to be updated if it is changed.
