Custom signatures for discussion pages

Have you ever noticed a custom signature like the one Rdr. Andrew uses on discussion pages. If you want to know how to do it, here's how:

  1. Go to your user page. It should be something like http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User:Name, where Name is your username
  2. Create an article by typing /sig after your user name in your browser's address bar. For example: http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User:Name/sig
  3. This should prompt you to create a new article User:Name/sig
  4. You can start the article by clicking on the link that says something like Start the Name/sig article. In reality, you can call the article anything you like
  5. Preferably in a separate browser window, view Rdr. Andrew's or Joe Rodger's /sig page and copy and modify it to your heart's content
  6. Paste your modified version in your /sig article and save the page
  7. Go to your preference's page
  8. Under User data, look for the box that say's "Your nickname (for signatures):"
  9. Type {{User:Name/sig}} in that box and save your preferences
  10. Now whenever you are talking on a discussion page and press the signature button on the editing bar, it will have your custom signature on it
