Description[edit]

As of r27512

This page is used to create the signature for an editor who is not logged in. It does not include the date portion, only the name portion. The parameters passed to this are:

$1 - will be the IP address
$2 - will be the nickname assigned to the IP address - likely also the IP address

Wiki formatting may be used in this special page.

See http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11315 for more details.

Discussion[edit]

{{editprotected}}

[[Special:Contributions/$1|$2]] {{#ifeq:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|User talk:$1|([[User talk:$1#top|talk]])|([[User talk:$1|talk]])}}

Change to

[[Special:Contributions/$1|$1]] {{#ifeq:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|User talk:$1|([[User talk:$1#top|talk]])|([[User talk:$1|talk]])}}

The current form causes all IPs' sig to show as "Contributions/xx.xx.xx.xx (talk)" instead of just "xx.xx.xx.xx (talk)" for some reason. Try logging out and making a signature. Triplestop (talk) 21:09, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, see Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Autosig not working ~~~~. — CharlotteWebb 21:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could an sysop remove "top" for the talk page since it will not bring to the top, as "#". It would be now:

[[Special:Contributions/$1|$2]] {{#ifeq:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|User talk:$1|([[User talk:$1#top|talk]])|([[User talk:$1|talk]])}}

As I noted on MediaWiki talk:Signature, I'll go ahead with this if no one objects soonish. – Luna Santin (talk) 21:47, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A similar change at MediaWiki talk:Signature isn't going through, so I'll leave this one as well -- if nothing else, they should probably match. – Luna Santin (talk) 17:15, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
