Because I'm a naughty
Wikipedian :-P Note that actually it wasn't the same edit, I moved the second point to more prominence because I reached out to the editor who undid my edit on their talk page... and they refused to discuss their edit, which led me to think they hadn't even read the whole list
758:
So, if I see these old signatures, am I allowed to fix them by rearranging them to the DMY format and writing out the month? Or is there a planned fix for these in MediaWiki? Perhaps a bot run could be arranged to fix these? It should be an easy task, but would require tens of thousands of edits:

You recently erroneously deleted a whole page I created due to "Copyright
Infringement" because I copied the text from the site, which is allowed in Texas. Texas allows free-use of the Government site content like the one I used and you were outside your lane deleting the whole thing. It was an

It seems only the second guideline (above) adheres to this consensus, so the obvious solution is to remove the first one. However when I tried to do this it was undone by another editor. So I'm bringing the discussion here. Thanks.

Agreed. Although just thinking about this with fresh eyes, what's wrong with: "It is common practice for a signature to resemble to some degree the username it represents, but it is not required."? Do you think it's too soft?

comprehensible signatures. The fact that the policy does not say "a signature must match the user name" is sufficient leeway for cases like yours. You have "TP2001" in the signature and that's fine.
766:
460:
signatures being required to correspond exactly to usernames and no consensus to require that signatures be easily recognizable to a new user as referring to the username they link to.
552:
Do you have a proposal? It seems hard to find wording that is both strongly suggestive to new users but also won't be used as a cudgel by other well-meaning editors.

No. The style for the timestamp in a signature indicates that it is a link to where the signature was used. There was a mention of this at
