Description[edit source]
This is for use when users do not sign their posts on talk pages. To find out who made an unsigned comment, check the page history of the talk page.
Syntax[edit source]
Type {{subst:unsigned|username}} where "username" is the name of the user who did not sign their post. You can also add the current date via a third parameter.
The time stamps in the edit history list for any talk page appear in UTC, or in the local time that is set in your preferences. If you did not adjust the time in your preferences, then the times in the edit history list are in UTC.
Talk page times should generally be in UTC to avoid confusion. So be sure to use UTC time when using this unsigned template. Adjust the time, if necessary, using the difference you designated between the server UTC time and local time. If this is too difficult to figure out, or you are in a hurry, then leave out the time, and only put in the date.
Examples[edit source]
{{subst:unsigned|Default}}gives...- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Default (talk • contribs)
{{subst:unsigned|Default|12:01, 01 January 2010 (UTC)}}gives...- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Default (talk • contribs) 12:01, 01 January 2010 (UTC)
Substitution[edit source]
This template should be substituted. You can do this by adding "subst:" to the template (e.g. {{subst:unsigned|Blah Blah Blah}}). Substituting the template will prevent it from changing when this template is modified.
