Topic on Talk:New requirements for user signatures/Help

I just noticed this message to another user with the error "Your signature links to a different user account." However, the link in the signature belongs to the same user account. Is the error explanation just really badly written or was the message sent in error?

The two links in that signature, [[Gebruiker:FakirNL/Ht]] and [[Overleg gebruiker:FakirNL/Ht]], lead to subpages of the editor's user and user talk pages. toolforge:signatures, the tool used to batch-check signatures, only checks that the link target exactly matches the username. It does not distinguish between subpages and other users.

Okay so it is really badly written.
