What is this? Mr. Anon teh awsome 21:51, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

It's the default signature for users that have no signature set in their preferences. Toomai Glittershine Toomai.png 21:59, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

I think that we could change this to employ Template:S, which would give the same result and ultimately save server space. Air Conditioner   Goo goo g'joob. 15:21, 4 November 2012 (EST)

{{S}} only saves space when you're linking to X:Y with a text of Y. If you're linking to X:Y with a text of Z like this is doing, it actually takes up more space - this page would be 6 bytes longer, not to mention have 3 template calls. {{S}} doesn't support that kind of linking anyway.

I was referring to the userspace, with something like Example (talk). Air Conditioner   Goo goo g'joob. 16:59, 4 November 2012 (EST)
Doesn't work, this links to User:$1 with a link text of $2. Toomai Glittershine   The Awesome 17:05, 4 November 2012 (EST)
Oh, wait... I'm forgetting users can modify their text for their default signature. Whoops. Air Conditioner   Goo goo g'joob. 17:51, 4 November 2012 (EST)
