[edit] Template sigs (refresh - reply →)

I know using templates for signatures is bad, but what can be done about those that already exist? Alphax ^τεχ 15:04, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I used to have a template sig, and when I discovered that (and why) it wasn't a good idea, I did a search'n'replace on the popular pages I haunt (VP, helpdesk etc). I did my own talk page, but not others' (figuring they wouldn't welcome a "you have new messages" just for that). Frankly, you could just search for {{templatename|Alphax}} or whatever, and just change it to {{subst:templatename|Alphax}}. -- John Fader (talk | contribs) 15:26, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hrm... I've been doing this a bit since I discovered why they were bad, using Special:Whatlinkshere, and it seems like as good a time as any to refresh the {{anon}} tags on IP talk pages. (Oh, and I don't trust nowiki tags for braces, hashes or tildes. Too many bad experiences.) Alphax ^τεχ 16:47, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
