widespread methods for group conversation, where colour and icons associated with the user name can carry meaning. As Levivich alluded to earlier, if we want to mandate that certain information be associated with each signed post, then it would best for the software to provide the info, or provide user interfaces or tools that provide the needed functionality. (For example, in addition to the pure wikitext methods of pinging, we could also have tools allowing you to look up users to ping using auto-complete, so you'd never have to copy and paste a whole user name. If the software were extended to support an alias as part of user profiles, then you could search users by alias, too, and users could set it to match their signatures.) Of course, in the meantime, it may be desirable to provide more encouragement to follow specific conventions.
1533:$ 300 million and we're worried about server load from images in signatures? Ahem. I just want to remind everyone reading this that for many years, other websites like Facebook and Twitter (and MySpace and Geocities and Wordpress and so many more), have been able to allow their users to post images, even in hi-res, even embedded video, even with infinite scrolling, for millions of simultaneous users, without crashing their servers or their users' browsers. The technology has been out there for many years; we're using sticks and stones here (aka MediaWiki). (And I agree with the removal of the server load and DOS reason.) 1606:, the previous point also means that if a user goes to the link saying ‘wingardium leviosa’, but arrives at the user page of a user called ‘Stream Levitating by Dua Lipa’, they might be a bit confused about whether they were lead to the right page. While some changes to them can be fine, user links should not be entirely different from their username (‘Kendoll’ → ‘KenDoll’ is fine and might be actually preferred for screen readers, ‘Kendoll’ → ‘KENSINGTON DOLLARBILLS’ or ‘ꓘ∈И’ are not), unless you also insert the username, preferably somewhere in the link itself. 646:
seems very reasonable. I have now changed my signature back from something mildly clever to something rather plain. From your description of a newbie's journey above I infer that custom colours, signatures not matching the username and irrelevant fanciness all cause problems for newcomers, and while I disagree that newbie conversion rate is the only number for us to look at, a campaign for simpler signatures ("do it for the newbies!") could actually be helpful. If 90% of users have plain blue signatures, do you think that will help? —

to address them, etc. (it's largely a non-problem though, since requiring the full username doesn't entail disallowing extra text containing a Latin-script nickname; the main thing would be that they would perhaps not always have the necessary space to include the username along with the nick) Those who argue that such problems will arise actually want to be less restrictive, i.e., they want to allow all kinds of variations instead of the username, not require them.
2186: 2286: 31: 1577:
signatures usually use more colours, so if the only signatures on the page are custom, some users might not be able to tell that you can go to a user/talk page. This is especially bad for links that are in black, as that makes them indistinguishable from the page text colour. That means that a custom-coloured user signature should have some other way of recognising it as a link, specifically an underline. Not having one on those links is

have a measurable positive effect on the editing environment for new users. Allowing people their small quirks seems more useful to me in welcoming a diverse editing community. I actually believe it is good practice to have the username in the sig, but I don't believe that requiring this is a good rule. Certainly enforcing such a rule is going to have far higher social costs than there are technical benefits. —

custom signatures instead of default was a barrier to entry would sway at least one mind (mine) and I suspect quite a few others. So if you really want to sway minds, that's the way to do it - not just saying "believe me when I say it is so". Maybe someone else will just take you at your word with this - but in my field, we don't believe until we see with our own eyes. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (

to one of those unfortunate who-left-when happenstance things, a good deal of design research work seems to have gotten lost, and that's not counting the stuff that never made it into the cloud in the first place, which included pretty much all of the original user research data from a decade or more ago. I think that nearly all of the original data collected by
1121:. Most of the Lint errors in discussion namespaces are because of signatures. Custom signatures cause unnecessary maintenance overhead in future, so I don't use anything other than the default signature. Anyone curious about how to pronounce my username can see it in my userpage.

As ever throughout this discussion it is clear that the winning argument, the stronger argument, is with those of us who don't agree that the guidelines should force all of us to have the same drab boring generic signatures. 1599:. All links in a signature should a clear description of their purpose, so while u-t-c meaning links to ‘user’, ‘talk’, ‘contributions’ might be understandable at least to some from the link context, it is pretty much impossible that ‘clubs symbol’ and ‘spades symbol’ would be understood as ‘contributions’ and ‘email this user’. 2281: 533:- most confusing thing to any new user is the signature. Why is the signature different between these two people? Does that connote status, or permissions? What do the red ones mean? Are those moderators? What's "contribs"? Why is it at the end of the comment? Why isn't it called out more clearly? 1661:
that removes most of the custom signature code for me, leaving only their text. To be honest, I have made it not because I wanted our talk pages to be more accessible, but because I considered most of custom signatures ugly and attention-seeking. Now I am more and more of an opinion that the best way

In the context of Knowledge (XXG), denial-of-service refers to the ability to misuse MediaWiki features to unduly waste server or network resources.

As with images, there are an awful lot of people who talk about bright signature backgrounds being obnoxious/distracting/whatnot, but when it actually comes down to an RfC people seem loath to prohibit much of anything.

The focus here was on the opposite concern: if we require the full username to be present in a signature, won't that create problems with non-Latin usernames, such as it being hard for other users to keep various users with the same non-Latin scripts apart, or such as that other users won't know how

Thank you for sharing your perspective (and for your work), this is full of great points to think about. I never thought about newbies believing that signature colours could mean something (fancy sigs only just started to become fashionable back when I was a newbie), but now that you point it out it

First, we need to distinguish between those we consider "constructive" users and those who are not. This has to do with edit motivation. It's not about vandalism - many, many great editors started as vandals. Think a POV pusher vs a gnome. A gamergator who is only here to shout "BIAS" isn't going

I agree that it'd be a good idea to give all users an option to view all signatures with plain formatting, and I even think that making custom sigs opt-in would be mostly fine. That said, as someone to whom the above accessibility concerns apply, I can say confidently that I don't give a hoot about

You've demonstrated nothing, and you still haven't linked the study. If it truly exists as you're claiming, it should be trivial for you to find and link it. The fact you're refusing to do so (when you've had more than ample time) and instead trying to paint me as the bad guy doesn't help your case

There are a lot of things that can be done. A good thing would be for there to be an obvious visual marker (like an icon) to tell the user that they are looking at a signature. Most software uses an avatar image for this, but Wikipedians go apeshit if you suggest such a thing. There might be a way

Technically, an image in a signature will not affect the servers much (if at all); the server sends the HTML for the link, the slow-down is going to be on the client side (rendering lots of images, especially if the html for the image doesn't include height and width tags). Emoji images are...

For screen reader users, the most problematic custom signature would not be the one using non-Latin characters (or at least it shouldn’t be one using them), but the one employing many graphic symbols or various text substitute symbols.
