*'''Sign your posts''': To sign a post, type three tildes (<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>), and they will be replaced with your username after saving, like this: [[wp:User:Eloquence|Eloquence]]. Type four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), and they will be replaced with your username and time stamp, like this: [[wp:User:Eloquence|Eloquence]] 03:44 Feb 17, 2003 (UTC). (The latter is usually preferred, to make it easy to piece together the chronology of a page.) Comments can be further customized in [[Special:Preferences]], like so: --[[User:Marudubshinki|Maru]] [[User talk:Marudubshinki|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Marudubshinki|Contribs]] 00:37, 27 October 2005 (UTC). No comments are really anonymous, because anyone can check the history of the page to find out what user or IP address posted any given text. Signing your post is a common courtesy which allows people an easy way to see who is speaking; unsigned posts are confusing. | *'''Sign your posts''': To sign a post, type three tildes (<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>), and they will be replaced with your username after saving, like this: [[wp:User:Eloquence|Eloquence]].
