Editing Chabadpedia:Signatures


'''Signing your posts''' on [[Chabadpedia:Talk pages|talk pages]], both for the article and non-article [[Chabadpedia:Namespace|namespaces]], is {{em|required}} to identify the author of each comment, enabling other users to engage directly with the relevant participants. This practice is necessary for maintaining clear, collaborative discussions and understanding the progression of a work.

Signatures are automatically added when using the [[mw:Talk pages project/Replying|reply tool]] or [[mw:Talk pages project/New discussion|new topic tool]]. When editing in [[CP:Wikimarkup|source text mode]] without these tools, signatures must be added manually by typing four [[tildes]] (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>) or selecting the signature icon <span style="background-color:white;padding:0 0.1rem">[[File:OOjs UI icon signature-ltr.svg|22px]]</span> in the [[Help:Edit toolbar|edit toolbar]].

All comments on user talk pages, article talk pages, and other discussion pages must be properly signed. Persistent misuse of signatures in a disruptive manner may result in user [[WP:BP|blocks]].

Signatures {{strong|should not}} be used in [[Chabadpedia:What is an article?|main namespace]] pages (i.e., Chabadpedia articles), as the content is a collective effort. Highlighting a single editor's contribution above others undermines the principle that articles are the shared product of multiple contributors.
