This means you are using invalid markup on your signature. Some possible causes with their corresponding solutions:

;Unclosed tags :If you are opening a tag without the corresponding closing tag (for instance: <code><nowiki>[[User:Example|<font color="white">Example]]</nowiki></code>), you should close the tag (for instance: <code><nowiki>[[User:Example|<font color="white">Example</font>]]</nowiki></code>). It's also a good idea to put the tags outside the link if possible (for instance: <code><nowiki><fontspan colorstyle="whitefont-family: serif">[[User:Example|Example]]</fontspan></nowiki></code>).

;Mismatched or incorrectly nested tags :If the tags are mismatched (for instance: <code><nowiki><s><u>hi</s></u></nowiki></code>), fix them (for instance: <code><nowiki><s><u>hi</u></s></nowiki></code>).

;Unquoted attributes :It's also recommended to use quotes on all attributes (for instance, use <code><nowiki><font color="white"></font></nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki><font color=white></font></nowiki></code>).
