Signature templates

Are not allowed. --RexRacer 01:40, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

And images in signatures are also disallowed; I would suggest reading through the signature policy linked in the welcome above for more info on what you can use. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 01:43, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Mkay, sorry about that, most wikis allow images in sigs, assumed this one would be pretty much the same--Goldenstar 01:45, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeh, we used to have server issues from all the images people were using, so we disallowed them. A minor rule, just about everything else is about the same as other wikis. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 01:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

No problem, also is there any prohibition against making templates? Was thinking of adding this to allow for music playing:

<onlyinclude>{{userbox| border-width=2 | border-color={{X-color|dark}} | logo-background={{X-color|dark}} | logo-size=25 | logo-color=Red | logo= <nowiki>>{{{1|<youtube height=25 width=28>QnO3LwkANXw</youtube>}}} | info-background={{X-color|light}} | info-color=Black | info-size = 10 | info=<font face="verdana"><center>{{{2|Music}}}</center></font>}} </onlyinclude> }--Goldenstar 02:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

There's a limit on userspace edits (basically, don't do five edits when you could just as easily show preview and do one), but no, there's no rule against templates in userspace, if you want to do that. Not sure if it'll work, I don't believe we have the coding to play YouTube videos, but give it a try. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 02:04, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Templates are best done by changing the parameters of {{User Template}}, btw. Saves making heaps in the template namespace. — THE TROM — 02:38, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
