It's unfortunate that this policy is needed because users can't do their coding right! * and # lists are screwed up because tags are left unclosed or something like <i>...</em> or </font color>. I'm not arguing it but I think the lack of implementing some other policies led to this one... Wa

- Indeed, I agree with you. In fact, I would love to see this policy vanish from the wiki, as I would love to use my signature when signing comments and such, it is much easier. Other users have come up with lame excuses such as the signatures slowing down the website, but it is only putting a certain amount of bytes on the page. I completely agree with you, Wayoshi, and I think other policies should be made/enforced so that users with good signatures and do their coding correct aren't punished for other users; mistakes. · SMB (Talk) · 23:02, 5 August 2009 (EDT)
- I remember signatures becoming a problem on the Proposals page while ago, but does that mean this rule bans signatures from the entire wiki, talk pages and all? Marcelagus (T • C • E)
- No, this polixy only applies to pages that say that they enforce this policy. Something along the lines of "This page observes the No-Signature Policy'". If it doesn't mention the policy in an enforcing manner, then using signatures is fine. · SMB (Talk) · 14:24, 26 December 2009 (EST)
- Ah, ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Should we mention that on the policy page, then? Garlic Man (talk)
- Actually, there is one rule that applies to the whole wiki in general: Rule 8, which states that there must be a link to either the user's page or talk page. Besides that, the other rules of the policy can only be in effect when it is mentioned that the policy is in effect. · SMB (Talk) · 11:32, 29 December 2009 (EST)
