Line 3: Changes made in November 2005 on 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\|my preferences]]" page. –==If you are not using "raw signatures"== MediaWiki makes the creation of simple, straightforward signatures relatively easy. For example, if User:Example wants a signature that displays as [[User:Example\|Example]], he would simply have to enter "Example" in the Signature field in [[Special:Preferences\|my preferences]]. The software automatically places "Example" in <nowiki>[[User:Example\|</nowiki>''here''<nowiki>]]</nowiki>, to form <nowiki>[[User:Example\|Example]]</nowiki>. When saved in a page, this markup displays as "[[User:Example\|Example]]". [[WP:HEP#Wiki_markup\|Wiki markup]] and [[HTML element\|HTML markup]] ''do not'' function in the Signature field, ''unless'' the <nowiki>Treat the above as Wiki markup</nowiki> option is checked in [[Special:Preferences\|my preferences]].
