Line 7:
 
For example, placing the following in the default Signature field
:<nowiki>[[User:Example|Example]] |: [[User talk:Example|Talk]]</nowiki>
will result in a signature that looks like
:[[User:Example|<nowiki>[[User:Example|Example]] |: [[User talk:Example|Talk]]</nowiki>]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]])
instead of
:[[User:Example|Example]] |: [[User talk:Example|Talk]]
 
This is because Wiki markup (and HTML markup) are now escaped as HTML entities when placed in the default Signature field, e.g. <nowiki>&amp;#91; instead of [.</nowiki>
Line 18:
 
For instance, to produce the signature
:[[User:Example|Example]] |: [[User talk:Example|Talk]]
place
:<nowiki>[[User:Example|Example]] |: [[User talk:Example|Talk]]</nowiki>
within the Signature field and check the Treat the above as Wiki markup option.
