| Is there any template that allows you to substitute something "back" into a template? This is for allowing you to type ~~<nowiki/>~~ and get a templated sig.

| ::Yes it is. If I remember correctly, you create a template saying <nowiki>{{{{{1}}}}}</nowiki>. Let's call the template A, and the template that you want to un-substitute B. Then, all you have to do is <nowiki>{{SUBST:A|B}}, resulting in {{B}}</nowiki>. Judging by your reply, I am assuming that it doesn't exist and I'm creating it (just to be sure, I searched through [[:Category:Templates]]).

| :::...what??? If I'm understanding what you wrote it's the most pointless thing ever; you can just copy the code from the template and put it where you want it.

| ::::Some sigs, like mine, take up an assload of space in terms of code. This template makes it possible to display just "<nowiki>{{User:Smiddle/sig}}</nowiki>" instead of aforementioned assload, while it still only requires you to type ~~<nowiki/>~~. {{User:Smiddle/sig}} 18:58, 26 December 2010 (EST)

| :::::Read [[SW:SIGN]]; you're not allowed to have such a signature. Sigs must be substituted if you use a subpage for them, and once substituted they must be short enough to fit in the signature box in Preferences.
