We prefer that you use your '''RealName''' as your username, the term "nickname" is used here for a name you may optionally specify, different from your username, for when you enter your signature with <code><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>. | |||
The wiki software allows even more versatility if you check the "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" checkbox. This prevents the software from automatically linking your signature, and allows you to specify how you'd like your signature linked instead. So, for instance, you could add a link to your talk page by typing this into the nickname box: <small><tt><nowiki>[[User:Name|Name]] | [[User talk:Name|talk]]</nowiki></tt></small>. | The wiki software allows even more versatility if you check the "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" checkbox.
