Yuan Salve! — 10:30, 13 June 2009 (UTC) "Days that I have held, days that I have lost / days that outgrow, like daughters, my harbouring arms" Hi guys. I'd like to request that the {{{time}}} parameter in the talk templates be used in all templates. This allows a reader to find out when a discussion happened without hunting through the history, preventing old discussions from being revived unnecessarily. Since it is required to use four tildes when signing, I think time should be required for the template as well. Some users have an extra signature in place of {{{time}}}. If you don't want to get rid of that, just put time = {{{time}}} and then your signature. To timestamp your post, type time=~~~~~.

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 21:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC) I noticed this message and changed my template so that the time parameter is optional, that way, the already used templates are still OK (it don't show {{{time}}}). But I agree that every talk bubble user should have {{{time}}} included! and if they've been using the talk bubble for a long time, and don't want the {{{time}}} to show up on the previously used ones, they can make it optional, like I did :P

TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...00:35, 22 June 2009 (UTC) Good point, and a very reasonable request, actually; this will also make it easier to keep track of forum discussions and the deletion pages. Thanks for the How-To Guide, Yuan. I'd also note that is five tildes, not the usual four for anyone who might be having problems. ^_-
