They encourage <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CIVIL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CIVIL">civility</a>, collaboration, and communication by identifying the author of a particular comment and the date and time at which it was made. Because of that, having an uncivil signature (especially one that makes any kind of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NPA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPA">personal attacks</a> toward someone else) is <i>prohibited</i> and, in some cases, the user will be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BLOCK" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BLOCK">blocked</a> from editing until the signature is changed. In most cases, anything that is not allowed as an account's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:UPOL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:UPOL">username</a> (in whole or in part) is also not allowed to be in a signature either. </p><p>Furthermore, signatures also serve a technical purpose: various <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SCRIPT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SCRIPT">user scripts</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BOT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BOT">talk-page archiving bots</a>, including <a href="/wiki/User:Lowercase_sigmabot_III" title="User:Lowercase sigmabot III">lowercase sigmabot III</a>, rely on their timestamps to know when to archive old threads. It's because of this that it's also important to not change the timestamp of any signatures, as doing so can lead to stale threads persisting longer, and after they would've otherwise been <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ARCHIVE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ARCHIVE">archived</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="When_signatures_should_and_should_not_be_used">When signatures should and should not be used</h2></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:SIGNHERE"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:SIGNHERE&redirect=no">WP:SIGNHERE</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>Any posts made to any type of discussion page <em>must be</em> signed (this does not include adding WikiProject boxes and other such administrative templates).

Altering the markup code of your signature to make it look substantially like another user's signature may also be considered a form of impersonation. Editing the code of your signature to link it to another editor's user page is not permitted. It is also ineffective, as the change log of the page records the IP address and (if applicable) username of all editors; as such, any impersonators can easily be caught if the signature in the <i>diff</i> view differs from the editor's default signature. While not an absolute requirement, it is common practice for a signature to resemble to some degree the username it represents. </p><p>If you encounter a user whose signature is disruptive or appears to be impersonating another account, it is appropriate to ask that user to consider changing their signature to meet the requirements of this policy. When making such a request, always be polite, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_faith" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Good faith">assume good faith</a>; do not immediately assume that the user has intentionally selected a disruptive or inappropriate signature. If <em>you</em> are asked to change your signature, please avoid interpreting a polite request as an attack. Since the success of Wikipedia is based on effective teamwork, both parties should work together to find a mutually acceptable solution. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Appearance_and_color">Appearance and color</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238436933"><table class="plainlinks ombox ombox-notice" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Green_check.svg/30px-Green_check.svg.png" decoding="async" width="30" height="30" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Green_check.svg/45px-Green_check.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Green_check.svg/60px-Green_check.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="600" /></span></span></td><td class="mbox-text">This section documents an English Wikipedia <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines" title="Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines">policy</a>, a widely accepted standard that all editors should <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Use_common_sense" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Use common sense">normally</a> follow.

For example, you could highlight <span style="font-weight: bold; background-color: #6633ff; color: #ffffff;">Your username</span> in bold reversed mauve and <span style="font-weight: normal; color: #6633ff;">Other signatures</span> in normal mauve. This approach works by reversing a variety of commonly used signature formatting techniques, but it doesn't attempt to replace the text content of the signature. For example, if <code><a href="/wiki/User:Example" title="User:Example">User:Example</a></code> has customized their signature to read <span style="background-color: #804; color: #fa0;">Ex</span><span style="font-weight: normal; background-color: inherit; color: #5b2;">@</span><span style="font-style: italic; background-color: #804; color: #fa0;">mple</span>, changing the formatting would display <span style="font-weight: normal; color: #6633ff;">Ex@mple</span> rather than their actual name <span style="font-weight: normal; color: #6633ff;">Example</span>. </p><p>No other users will see your custom effects. You can remove or modify them at any time by changing the instructions in your style sheet. The change will apply to all pages regardless of how old they may be.
