{{User:Jioruji Derako/sigwarning|image}}
As per the {{Bp|Signature policy}}, your signature {{#switch: image
| link = needs to link back to at least [[User:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|your Userpage]].<br>You can set your signature to automatically link back to your Userpage by going into [[Special:Preferences|your Preferences]] and making sure the "raw signatures" box under your nickname is unchecked. This will make your signature auto-link whenever you sign using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Alternatively, you can check the "raw signatures" box, and add in the link coding yourself (you'll generally need to do this if you use other coding to decorate your signature).
| images
| image = must be text-only, no images are allowed. You'll need to remove any images from your signature.
| length
| size = is limited to only 80 characters when rendered. What this means is, when you view the signature after saving the page, it cannot be longer then eighty letters/numbers/symbols long (any longer, and it becomes disruptive to the rest of the page). Such a long signature is simply unnecessary; realistically, all your signature needs to do is identify you on a talk page. Save the personal intro for [[User:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|your Userpage]] instead.
| linebreak
| line break
| br = cannot contain any line breaks (e.g.: this line contains a<br>line break in it).<br>Line breaks in a signature make signatures take up more page space then they need to, and often result in messing up the comment indents on talk page discussions. You'll need to remove any line breaks in your code.
| fontsize
| font = cannot be any larger then the font size of normal text.<br>Coding like <nowiki><big>, <font size=#>, and in most cases, <sub> or <sup> will disrupt the normal line spacing. Do note that you are allowed to have a signature that is smaller then normal text, with coding like <small></nowiki>, as this won't have any effect on the surrounding text.
| username
| name = must reflect your actual username in some way.<br>Shortened versions of your current username are generally acceptable, so long as it's still recognizable as ''you''. Your current signature doesn't reflect your actual username well enough; the whole point of a signature is so other users can tell who left the comment, and as such, they need to be able to tell, just by looking at your signature, who actually left the comment. You'll need to adjust your signature a bit, please.
| template = must not be coded as a template. Transcluded (templated) signatures can cause unneeded server stress when the template page is changed, and such templates are also targets for vandalism; you'll need to move your signature coding into the Nickname field in [[Special:Preferences|your Preferences]].
| needs to be updated; please, take the time to read over the rules outlined in the policy article, and adjust your signature accordingly.}}<br>Thanks in advance! If you have any questions, by all means, send your questions my way. I'll be happy to explain any fuzzy rules to you, and help you with your signature if you need it. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 04:01, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
