Line 1: {{Shortcut\|WP:SIGHELP\|WP:FIXSIG}} Changes made in November 2005 onto the version of the [[MediaWiki]] software running Wikipedia altered the way [[WP:SIG\|signatures]] work. If your signature is not working now (but was working previously), you will need to make some changes to your [[Special:Preferences\|Preferences]] page. ==If you are not using "raw signatures"== Line 43: ==A note on long signatures== The markup for your signature is visible in the edit window; if it is too long, it makes editing the page harder. Try to keep the markup length below about one line of text. Also, the signature length is, since 13 June 2006, restricted to 255 [[byte]]s ([[~~bugzilla~~phab:~~8458~~T10458\|~~bug #8458~~T10458]], [[rev:22960\|r22960]]), later changed to 255 [[codepoint\|character]]s ([[~~bugzilla~~phab:~~10338~~T12338\|~~bug #10338~~T12338]], [[rev:23389\|r23389]]).
