User talk:Koopa Troopa

Hi there

I've noticed that most of your edits are only in your userspace. Keep in mind that SmashWiki is not a personal profile, and you are expected to make contributions to the wiki itself. Please try to direct your attention to the mainspace for a bit. Thanks! Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 20:56, 14 January 2018 (EST)

ok. I will do that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Koopa Troopa (talk • contribs) 18:03, January 15 2018

Okay, one more thing: Signatures using transclusions (templates {{like this}}) are strictly prohibited as per the signatures policy. It is okay to display your signature on a separate page like you have done here, but to use it as a template is not permitted under any circumstances. Instead, what you should be doing is copying the source code of that page into your signature box on the Special:Preferences page, and then, next time you make a talk page post, signing your comments by placing four tildes at the end like this: ~~~~

Because of this breach, I have deleted your signature on this page and rewritten it as unsigned. Please go back to Preferences and fix your signature so that it complies with the signatures policy. Thank you. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 18:20, 15 January 2018 (EST)

Okay, I have just been informed by Serpent King that an acceptable alternative is to transclude your signature as {{SUBST:User:Koopa Troopa/sig}}. This way is acceptable because SUBST templates only need to work once - after you save your edit, the template gets replaced with rich text, and thus only gets parsed once, meaning that it won't drain server resources or change over time. However, you still need to put it into your signature box and sign your comments with the tildes, so that the time stamps will appear. To summarise, a transclusion is okay as long as it's written as a SUBST, but you still need to be using your signature box in Special:Preferences. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation.
