How does a wiki owner configure ~ to, by default, also provide a link to the user's talk page? I believe enwiki is set up to do this. Thanks, Tisane 04:16, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Preload
Can someone tell me a way how i get a raw ~ in a preloaded pagetext so that in the best case an user just has to press 'save' on that preloaded page? Is this possible without an extension? May be it is possible there is a way to make a '  ' for exact the savingtime - if you understaind what I mean? Thx --RaZe 15:48, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

signature dislike?
In the section "Customized Signatures", what is meant by "Please note that striking signatures are often disliked by other users."?

To me the word 'striking' has a meaning something like 'you would take special notice of' as in "The CEO was a strikingly handsome man." Are 'other users' jealous of the beauty of the 'striking signature'? Or is 'striking' intended to convey 'gaudy, garish, overdone'?

I don't have experience with the likes/dislikes of 'other users' to know what is unacceptable in a signature. Perhaps this could be expanded upon?

Do redlinks lead to eyestrain?
In my opinion the redlinks on this page look crappy hence I created a Username page. I would welcome feedback, as someone will probably want to delete the page as a kind of automatic reaction, and maybe people will agree that this page looks quite better with the link in blue. It is primarily a matter of GUI aesthetics, but they say that deer are color blind and perhaps also some Mediawikians (WikiMedians) are, as well. Geofferybard 22:33, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
