* '''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.

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. | |||
