Templates
Please create templates as sub-pages of your user page not as part of the general wiki. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:28, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
- It follows how nearly all the other template signatures are made. It is User:Randomno/sig. What's wrong about that? It's a subpage in a user namespace. And it's my signature, why can't I use that template? It messes it up without it.
Random? No. Admin on the Simpsons Wiki. Say something.
- Because Template:Explain is created in the wiki's namespace and it's being used for your signature. All other template signatures exist as subpages of the user's. Create Template:Explain as a subpage of your userpage. See Help:Signatures for more information on using a template in your signature. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:57, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
