Editing Template talk:Unsigned

I dont like it because maybe you don't want to know wh it is. Maybe you want to be '''Anonymous'''. [[User:Zmario|Zmario]] ([[User talk:Zmario|talk]]) 19:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The History section will tell who you are any way... [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] ([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]]) 20:38, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Not unless its been updated by many different people real fast!...... What am I saying people can find out anyway! Its useless. [[User:Zmario|Zmario]] ([[User talk:Zmario|talk]]) 20:40, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

==Idea==

Add a link to [[SW:SIGN]] policy in the template? Something like:

<small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}. Please adhere to [[SW:SIGN]] when posting on talk pages.</small><noinclude>

As a reminder of the policy. (Should probably be re-worded a little though). '''''[[User:HavocReaper48|<span style="color:aqua;">Havoc</span>]][[User talk:HavocReaper48|<span style="color:midnightblue;">Reaper</span>]]''''' 23:18, 23 June 2011 (EDT)
:I propose. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

The idea is interesting, but I don't think it's very practical. It essentially relies on people re-reading their posts after the unsigned template is added, something I doubt the average non-signing user does. That said, making a link to SW:SIGN out of "unsigned comment" might explain what happened to the few that pay attention.

== Substitution ==

There are [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Unsigned|a bunch of cases]] where this template's been transcluded instead of subst:'d. Should we get [[User:eXemplary Logic|XL]] to apply substitution for all such cases?
