Signing comments

Try out all these techniques below in the playground.

In the toolbar you will see the icon This is an illustration; don't click here! which if you hover over it is called “Insert Signature”. If you click on that, it will insert, at your cursor position, the code:

--- //[[user:asimong|Simon Grant]] 2026/04/13 13:39//

giving

Simon Grant 2026/04/13 13:39

It would be messy if you did this for all edits, and in any case you can see who made which edit on the “Old revisions” button. Equally, if there is a reasonable consensus between curators, there is no point to claiming individual authorship.

The one vital exception to this is in the “Commentary” section. See the template for topic pages.
