I dont like it because maybe you don't want to know wh it is. Maybe you want to be Anonymous. Zmario (talk) 19:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Not unless its been updated by many different people real fast!...... What am I saying people can find out anyway! Its useless. Zmario (talk) 20:40, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Idea
Add a link to SIGN policy in the template? Something like:

—Preceding unsigned comment added by User: (talk • contribs). Please adhere to SIGN when posting on talk pages.

As a reminder of the policy. (Should probably be re-worded a little though).  Havoc Reaper  23:18, 23 June 2011 (EDT)
 * I propose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by User: (talk • contribs) . Next time, please sign your comments with ~ DoctorPain99  {ROLLBACKER}  (Talk • Contribs) [[file:DoctorPain99.png|19px]] 18:14, 29 June 2011 (EDT)

The idea is interesting, but I don't think it's very practical. It essentially relies on people re-reading their posts after the unsigned template is added, something I doubt the average non-signing user does. That said, making a link to SW:SIGN out of "unsigned comment" might explain what happened to the few that pay attention. Toomai Glittershine The SMASH-GINEER 19:44, 29 June 2011 (EDT)

Substitution
There are a bunch of cases where this template's been transcluded instead of subst:'d. Should we get XL to apply substitution for all such cases? Toomai Glittershine The Multifaceted 22:28, 16 April 2013 (EDT)

 * Alrighty it's been done (well, still in progress, but that's just the queue draining.)  X L  20:49, 27 April 2013 (EDT)
