If you come across an unsigned comment on a Talk page, feel free to browse the page history and determine who added that comment to the page, then use the {{unsigned}} template, like so:
{{unsigned|ianweller}}
if Ian Weller is the person who did not sign his comment. Then, kindly remind the user to sign their comments by placing the following message on their user talk page:
- You recently added a comment on [[Some random page]] which you did not sign; [[Help:Unsigned comments on talk pages|I have signed it for you]]. Please remember to sign all comments on talk pages with <code><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></code>, or by pressing the signature button in the button bar above the edit box. This will be replaced with a link to your wiki page and a timestamp. Thanks --~~~~
This will look like:
- You recently added a comment on Some random page which you did not sign; I have signed it for you. Please remember to sign all comments on talk pages with
--~~~~
, or by pressing the signature button in the button bar above the edit box. This will be replaced with a link to your wiki page and a timestamp. Thanks --Ian Weller 19:44, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
(Except the "I have signed it for you" link will actually be a link.) Be sure to replace the "Some random page" link.
